speakup on a sparc

[Chris Nestrud]

I believe that you can get an educational license for Solaris source code.
Still, as has been said, their are enough differences that porting
Speakup to Solaris would be a huge undertaking. It would also probably, at
least partially, split the two source trees, linux and solaris.
