The SAPI bindings should be rewritten to avoid the Copyright assignments to Microsoft. This should include: 1. referring to external versions of the SAPI libraries; 2. not including generated files from midl, etc.; 3. using a more modern project format (MSBuild) than Visual Studio 6!; 4. avoid using pre-compiled headers (see #6).

The rewrite should also look to improve the SAPI binding in general.
