In fact the .la files should be stripped.

I do notice that espeak support is disabled by default anyway, so in that case,
no, it's not a problem for *us* (at least at the moment). It's still proper to
let upstream know, especially because, since they do turn it on for Win32/WinCE
that means those packages are technically illegal!

They don't need to do GPLv2+ -- the other alternatives if they want to use
espeak by default on some platforms is to either switch to GPLv3 (only), or
dual-license with GPLv2/GPLv3 (if the GPLv3 terms are acceptable, and they just
worry about what GPLv4 might look like). *Or* ask espeak to grant them an
exception.

Again, GPL-based libraries meant for linking against are just *evil*
