Compiling eSpeak Emacspeak server under Debian Sid

[Jason White <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To compile the eSpeak Emacspeak server (tclespeak.cpp) under Debian Sid, I had
to make the changes below. These are not intended for inclusion; they are just
quick fixes designed to make it compile. The location of the tcl.h header
should also be set by the Emacspeak configure process, if possible, as it is
different under Debian (i.e., /usr/include/tcl8.3/tcl.8 for tcl 8.3, and
mutatis mutandis for tcl 8.4).

The compiler gives numerous warnings about type conversions throughout
tclespeak.cpp; I have fixed only those which give fatal errors, and by the
brute force method, not the proper method of understanding the code and
correcting it.
