"Sonic is still a new library, and has not yet been incorporated into Debian
or other major distros. For now, feel free to simply add sonic.c and sonic.h
to your application, but consider switching to -lsonic once the library is
available on your distro."

SpeechControl can create a DEB for packaging and whatnot for Sonic, Bill if
need be, for redistro. purposes.
