System requirements:

## Usage
Minimal example
nato-spell SPELLME
Spelling from stdin
echo SPELLME | nato-spell -
Increase the delay between characters (unit is seconds, default is 0)
nato-spell SPELLME --char-delay=1
Use a different sound directory
nato-spell SPELLME --sound-dir=/home/me/my-sound-dir
And finally, an example, where we use them all together.
