[BRLTTY] Building espeak-ng speech driver

[Chris Moore]

Dave,
I temporarily got by the issue using —without-speak in the configure options.  This had the effect of bypassing the compilation of the espeak driver.  Without this option the make command attempts to compile the espeak driver but fails because it can’t find the required library (libespeak.so).
