>Description:
	The checksums in the distinfo files for (some of) the festvox
	packages ( festvox-abc festvox-jph festvox-ked16 festvox-mwm
	and festvox-ogirab I believe, no guarantees it is a complete list)
	are out of date wrt the files available at the master site.

	What's more, it looks to have been this way for a LONG time (years)
	if one can believe the file mod times at the master server (2000...)

	It looks as if when the distinfo files were updated from md5 to
	sha1 (yes, that long ago...) the master files had already been
	changed (the old md5 checksums don't match either).

	[Aside: no, I don't want to use festvox - I just like to have a
	complete set of distfiles, and decided I should actually verify
	all of the checksums of the files I have - the files I had in my
	collection I fetched last July 31, Aug 1, so the checksums have
	certainly been bad at least that long.]

	Naturally, I have no grarantees that the files haven't been
	spoofed, nor any inclination to find out - but one would wonder at
	why anyone would bother!

	Since festvox clearly gets ~0 use, perhaps its packages should
	just be retired ?

>How-To-Repeat:
	rm .../distfiles/voice*
	cd .../pkgsrc/audio/festvox-abc
	make checksum
>Fix:
	make distinfo
		(after the make checksum fails, and after
		verifying that the current version of the correct
		file was fetched)

	Ideally, the files would be fetched to a version dependent
	sub-directory, so old versions wouldn't attempt to be used.
