[arm-allstar] New Wx, minor enhancement

[Chris Zenchenko]

I also love the update to saytime.
I've wanted to do this for quite some time.
I actually created a vocabulary of about 3500 words, letters and digits in a
good male tts voice called James.
It does take some time to generate, edit and then convert but the sound is
great.
I wish the WX script used Weather Underground however since my personal
weather station is feeding it.
I can get conditions close but not mine since I live in the country.

I'm way behind the times. What was Barry referencing with the locate and
updatedb?
I've not actually looked at the scripts so not sure how locate works or how
using it improves how the scripts work.

On a completely different topic I was wondering where things are at with the
IRLP connections.
I remember reading about 2 months ago that something was in the works but
can't recall any additional info.

Barry,

  Yes good idea. I think we should do that in an update. There may be
others that get missed as Allison has limited words. The problem with
creating new words is the voice would not match. I suppose you could create
an entire new database using TTS but 1. it takes time and 2. we don't have
a list of all the words they could use.
