[Development] Text to Speech classes (tts)

[Gladhorn Frederik]

Hi,
I almost forgot: the repo has been created and I renamed all the text to speech classes and module to QTextToSpeech etc.
If someone wants to play with it, feedback is welcome. It will still require some research (I don't know how soon I'll get around to doing anything there) to create a good abstraction for voice and language selection. If you feel inspired to investigate that, patches are more than welcome of course.
Finally a chance to have your machine tell you jokes or curse at you ;)

The Qt Speech repository ssh://codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt/qtspeech.git

Alex, could you please create a Speech component in jira?

Greetings,
Frederik

Sure, but it hasn't been released yet ;)
I'd get it started and then see where we end up. I do think this is great
input and I will have to rename my stuff to not use qspeech but something that
implies tts in the classes so that the recognition part can coexist nicely.

Thanks for the feedback.
