*very* preliminary documentation for speakup v-2.0

[Thomas Stivers]

What's new in v-2.0?  Speakup now tracks the cursor properly in many
editors and programs.  Synthesizer drivers have been modularized and it
is now posible to change synthesizers without rebooting by echoing the
synthesizer abbreviation to /proc/speakup/synth_name.  Several new
keystrokes have been added.  The speakup key with 1 and 2 on the number
row decrease and increase the level of punctuation to be spoken (0=none
1=some 2=most 3=all). The speakup key with 3 and 4 from the number row
decrease and increase the punctuation level used when reviewing the
screen with speakup's review cursor.  Use speakup+5 and speakup+6 to
decrease and increase the speech rate and finally speakup+7 and
speakup+8 to change voices on your synthesizer.  There is now support
for a window which can be set using speakup+f1 at the top left and
bottum right of the area.  Speakup+f2 clears this window and speakup+f3
toggles it between silent and normal.  Speakup+f4 says the contents of
the currently defined window.  Speakup+f5 and speakup+f6 allow you to
choose what punctuation will be spoken in some and most punctuation
levels.  After pressing either of these pressing any character will add
or remove it from that set of punctuation.  You will hear speakup say
the character you have entered followed by on or off.  Press the
character again to toggle it.  Speakup+f7 adds and removes characters
from speakup's delimeters list.  These are characters that act like word
boundaries when reading.  They are set the same as the punctuation
levels.  Finally speakup+f8 adds or removes characters from speakups
repeat list.  If a character is turned on speakup will tell you how many
times it occurs, but if it is off speakup will say the character the
first three times and that is all.  Setting the contents of this list is
the same as above.  Lastly speakup+pageup and speakup+pagedown (on the
six pack) move the speakup review cursor to the beginning and end of the
text on the current line respectively.  This is useful for using the cut
and paste feature and it replaces the ctrl+keypad1 move to end command.

Please help me fill in and correct this if you find errors. Speakup is
under ongoing development right now, meaning Kirk is off squashing bugs
as I write this, so everything is subject to change.
