progress, sort of *long*

[Kyrath]

Because it was the most recent on the slackware downloads of the speakup
site.
http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/slackware/
There are only versions 7.0, 7.1, and 8.0 available on there, along with
zipspeak and some loop something or other.
Does version 9.1 from slackware.com incorporate speakup as well?
