The code is there, but it is not compiled in --- there is nothing in autoconf
that detects it, and macspeech.c appears nowhere in any makefile.

That code was added in 2004, and in the commit it states that the author
intended to add "autoconf gunk", but never got around to it.  There have been
no changes in the code base related to that code since 2005 other than
copyright notice updates.  As it stands, it's basically dead code that has 
never really been wired into Xastir, and may be broken.

If someone has interest in making it all work, they'd have to add the 
appropriate autoconf checks to get it built in.
