conrad,

i work mostly on windows (visual studio) and symbian (just command line, 
hehe). hence, i am not very good at writing and patching makefiles and 
configure scripts.

this is what i am proposing to do:
1. the changes i will recommend in the actual speex sources are minial, 
just a couple of consts to be added where they have been forgotten.
2. i will leave out the heavier features from speex library for symbian 
(like the echo cancellor, preprocessor etc.). the ARM CPU is too weak to 
handle them in real time in anycase. and i will provide an MMP (the 
symbian's wierd equivalent of makefile) to compile the library properly.
3. I will also make available a binary library for OSv8.x so that other 
developers can use it straightway. I already do that with windows mobile 
libraries on my site www.phonestack.com.
