Major modification to Speakup

[Matthew Campbell]

I have just finished modifying Speakup so that multiple synthesizer
drivers can be included in the kernel, and you can choose which
synthesizer you want (or no synth at all) as a boot parameter.  You
can set the default synthesizer in the kernel configuration and then
override the default with the speakup_synth parameter at boot time.  A
synthesizer choice of "none" results in no speech (an especially
useful default for kernels that will be used by sighted people as well
as blind people).  This modification will enable Linux distribution
makers to include Speakup in their distributions with little or no
difficulty.
