I am working on my own project that currently uses MBROLA to produce the sounds. We are somewhat limited by not having real allophones, although in most cases the diphones are sufficient for a good quality sound. Perhaps more comprehensive voice databases will offer such things as glottal stops. By the way, my project is entirely written in Prolog, so it is portable to Linux.
