properly switching synths in speakup

Interesting. So many variations on such a simple theme.

Maybe the serial port needs to be reserved right up front when booting. 
I generally boot with speakup_synth=ltlk, then before the first login 
prompt I let speakwith switch me to software speech. That way I get one 
more indication that all is well before the first login. I log into root 
first, then run speakwith manually to restore the ltlk as the working 
synth. 

I operate in a pretty reduced environment here, with one fairly capable 
desktop doing everything, and a Linux laptop for emergencies. 

As for the typo, at least it was in the help screen and not in the code! 
It always makes me a little nervous to peer into source code and find 
typos and misspellings in comments. Makes me wonder if there are any in 
the code.
