I just applied the speakup patches to the kernel.org source,
and it does appear in make config. It adds a new option
CONFIG_SPEAKUP. And using make menuconfig I get a new item

Console drivers -> [ ] Speakup console speech (NEW)

So I agree ... this should be in the official source.

This is the config for the kernel build ... not sure I
understand what you mean ... this tells the kernel
compile to include speakup or not ... in the kernel.
