screen parameters per user

[ace]

I have been thinking it would be neat to have the same type of thing 
available in Speakup--instead of system-wide speech parameters, we 
could have user-specific.  I guess this could be accomplished if we 
made /proc/speakup accessible to all users then putting a script in 
each user's home directory.
