espeak_TextToPhonemesWithTerminator not upstream

[cryptomilk]

Hi,

I'm trying to package piper-tts for openSUSE right now.

• Is there a reason that espeak_TextToPhonemesWithTerminator() has not been submitted upstream to espeak-ng?
• I've changed the CMakeLists.txt so I can build with system libraries, would you accept a patch for this?

The strange thing is that the prototype of TranslateClauseWithTerminator() made it upstream: espeak-ng/espeak-ng#1811

That's very odd that they merged the function prototype with no definition! I didn't submit it upstream for two reasons:

1. I didn't add any tests, and wasn't sure it was even useful outside of Piper
2. I plan on replacing espeak-ng with something else due to licensing concerns (I prefer MIT/public domain over GPL)

I would still try to submit it. I think they would accept it and it would be easier to build piper-tts in distributions. I would love to bring piper-tts to openSUSE and Fedora.

I've open a pull request for cmake improvements: #31
