Okay, anyone interested in joining the project can subscribe to the
official mailing list (sounds fancy!) set up for the project at:
http://isawit.com/mailman/listinfo/php-vox
I'm looking forward to getting into discussions and debates, and getting
the project off the ground.

Is it 100% C++?
that could be a serious problem, AFAIK, unless we are creating a

doesn't matter (not sure about static, but i believe it is the same)
And what about other TTS engines? FreeTTS? Festival-lite?
