Ok, I've finally packaged together a working system. It's 2.5M compressed (4M uncompressed) and nearly all of the size is flite. It's still an alpha release because I haven't had anyone else test it yet. If you're interested, please download it and let me know what kind of problems you find.

Due to the size, you may not be able to extract it on the default / partition (2.5M .tgz + 4M of extracted files is a good percentage of the default size). Suggested installation:

rwm
mkdir /drive0/src
(upload ttsd-1.0a1.tgz to that dir)
cd /drive0/src
tar zxvf ttsd-1.0a1.tgz
cd ttsd-1.0a1
./install
