Satellite Tracking Program with Optional Voice Output

This is a satellite tracking program. It is probably mostly of interest to users of amateur satellites, but includes support for optionally announcing azimuth and elevation to help in manual antenna pointing, or optical observation of satellites. The upstream predict sources include a front-end called 'map', which is called predict-map in the Debian package. The 'ntp' package is suggested because accurate satellite tracking depends on precise knowledge of ground station time and location.
