Hello Lazaridis,

First, please don't cut the mailing list from the discussion, and
please don't top-post.  Thank you.

That's weird.  There should be; well, at least it's good style to
distribute the files needed for generation of the configure script.

Problably, I cannot say.  If a missing include of number.h is what
caused the error in mmsystem.h, then the above looks correct.

I cannot tell you that.  You have to ask the flite maintainer this
question about the files used to generate configure, and how to
re-generate it.  Likely it was just forgotten in the tarball, and
running autoreconf after the change is sufficient.
