I started setting up a project on sourceforge, but found out that VA Software owns the license to
the software.  I considered Savannah, but found out that any software there cannot depend upon
non-free software.  I think the sourceforge is the lesser of two evils.

I called it "xvoice-sphinx" and it allowed me to do this.  It'll take a few days for it to get
approved.  I'll find out the other stuff soon.
