A Second Festival Module for Speakup

Just to confirm: do you mean Flite or Eflite?  Eflite is an Emacspeak
server for Flite - and I don't think there's any point in making Speakup
support the Emacspeak server.  But chances are you meant Flite, the
actual synthesiser - but just to make sure.

Yes we have, FLite is one of the programs which we are planning on
adding support for in the near future.  The nature of the middleware
program is such that it should be easy to add support for more programs,
to be chosen at run-time however we thought it best to get it working
for one and then improve the capabilities later.  Don't worry FLite
support is coming.
