And of course things like the Windows Developer DevKit which is great for
the newcomer as it doesn't require any interaction with the god-awful
cygwin installer. So "newbies" can get up to speed almost immediately.

1. Make lang.h readily available to the plugins, probably via plugin.h
    You may need to add a similar version control system as the plugins
    Personally I wouldn't bother, as if you DO change the lang file(s) you
    risk killing all .voice files that exist.
2. Add the talk() functions to the plugin api
    May I also suggest making shutup() public or creating a clever macro to
    emulate it as I did.

Audio_3587 will redirect the speech to the debug console when compiled in
sim mode, this is probably better done in the talk() functions.

Helpful?
