IPA speech synthesizer

I was looking at the Teonaht wikipedia article recently and thought:
couldn't we make that IPA link autogenerate a synthesized sample?

Surely someone has made an IPA synthesizer by now?

And: how kludgy would it be if we just took a bunch of IPA samples -
e.g. from http://www.phonetics.ucla.edu/course/chapter1/chapter1.html
- and mashed 'em back to back?

It wouldn't cover tone and lengthening and so on well, sure, but it'd
be at least a first pass approximation.
