upgrading a Slackware kernel

This does bring up a slightly different angle on this question.  Is
there a simple way to isolate the speakup patches and hand apply them
to my newest kernel of choice? I recall trying something like this a
ways back unsuccessfully.  The resulting download from CVS is
apparently not exactly like the tarball that gets built about every 3
years <sigh>.  I guess another question might be: how can we build our
own tarballs of speakup that we might be able to apply at any time CVS
is unavailable like now?
