[Xastir] festival support

[J. Lance Cotton]

Vic,

One thing that I found that I had to do to finally get festival to work was to 
get rid of the 'only localhost can connect to the server' pref in the festival 
configuration. I don't know if that's the default on a source install (I 
installed festival from RPMs), but it might be.

I dont' know why it doesn't let localhost connect, even though it's the only 
one specifically allowed.

Here's what to do:
Open the 'festival.scm' file (I found mine in /usr/share/festival/' and look 
for the line that starts like:

(defvar server_access_list ...

Make it look like:

(defvar server_access_list nil


Then restart the festival server.
