asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Festival and french language

Anybody has experirence with Festival + french voice ?

I read "2.1.3  .--The French language
Festival does not (at the moment) implement yet the French language
but it's not difficult to make it work with the Mbrola synthesizer
which offers high quality French voices."

from the website
http://www.pollock-nageoire.net/festival/festival-english003.html#toc5

but "not difficult" has not the same meaning for everybody....

thanks
