Bug in Speakup 1.00?

[Steve Holmes]

When I first heard about using CVS, it sounded daunting simply because
I knew nothing about it really.  Since Speakup comes with a checkout
script, all you really need to do is run this script and it will
update the kernel source tree with the latest and greatest version of
speakup.  Unfortunately, when 2.4.19 kernel came out, it broke speakup
and thus the different versions needed.  What's worse, The later 2.5
kernels don't work at all with speakup and I understand some major
speakup code changes are necessary to fix this situation.  Of course,
this impacts speakup's viability in the eventual 2.6 kernel series.
