revSpeak and Windows XP

[Phil Davis]

You can download the older speech engine from Microsoft, install it on your
PC, and *boom* you got revSpeech!

The link (from the Mozilla description of Rev bug #317):
  http://www.microsoft.com/speech/download/old/sdk40a.asp

I couldn't get the smallest of the 3 downloads listed to make Win revSpeak
work.
