continuous reading feature

[Ameer Armaly]

As for preserving your keymap changes, as far as I know it all works like 
this:  genmap produces speakupmap.h, which is later included by the code as 
the default keymap; so at least in theory any changes you make to 
speakupmap.map should take effect when you recompile.
