New Dutch voice ...
An iGO8 user gave me a new voice file ...
He made some tweaks to the Dutch Marieke v1.3 voice of iGO 8. This voice had some nasty mistakes in it. He deleted some audio files so you don't hear 'bereid u voor op' (Prepare for...).
And he made some changes to the commands.csv file, because some sentences were not right in Dutch. This file sounds much better than the original one.
"I hope I can help other Dutch users with this file." as he said ...
Many thanks to him for this contribution ;-)
