kernel compile gone wrong.

[Shaun Oliver]

Hi frank. well I've managed to compile kernel 2.4.4 with the current cvs
version of speakup. after much swearing and a bit of talking to a few
people namely geoff, I managed to figure out that 
1. don't use the tar archive of speakup-0.10a and then checkout the cvs
version,
2. always start with fresh source tree and a fresh copy of speakup.
remember those 2 points and we won't have any problems.
I'd download the new kernel sources but at the moment, my isp has been
pretty shitty as far as connections go.
but we'll get there.
now all that's left to do is compile the alsa modules hehe.
