Festival works nicely for that too:

    "New Station, WE7U-7".
    "WE7U-7 is a distance of 3.4 miles".

I might want to put a direction from my course in there, so that
it'd say "at three o-clock" after the distance.  Good for mobile use
anyway if a friend of mine is nearby but off the map, and I want to
go play APRS hide-and-seek.

Yea.  Two people have successfully done sounds with Cygwin.  It's
written up in the README.win32 file.
