Revive rsynth-2.0, as requested by Nigel Reed in PR pkg/13424. Since it's
main claim to fame over "festival" seems to be that it's in the public domain, we'll decline to install the British dictionary, which is licensed "No Commercial Use". [Besides the British dictionary, the home site has a few other dictionaries and utilities that could well go into seperate packages.]

+This is a text to speech system produced by integrating various pieces
+of code and tables of data, which are all (I believe) in the public domain.
+
+The Oxford Text Archive has for several years maintained copies of several
+machine-readable dictionaries along with its extensive (if
+unsystematic) collections of other machine-readable texts. This document
+gives some further details of the various dictionaries available, and
+summarises the conditions under which copies of them are currently
+distributed.
+
+The Oxford Text Archive Shortlist (available on request via electronic
+mail and by FTP) gives up to date brief details of all texts held in
+the Archive. Send electronic mail to ARCHIVE@VAX.OXFORD.AC.UK. For
+anonymous FTP, look in the directory ota on ota.ox.ac.uk (129.67.1.165)
