killing speakup issues

[Nick Stockton]

If your using speech-dispatcher you can use the command "spd-say -C" to 
interrupt speech but if your using a hardware synth like I am or espeakup I 
don't think there is a command to kill speech.  It would be nice as speech 
interrupts are very useful when playing mud games as some times you want a 
message to interrupt what the synth is saying, like when playing PVP based 
muds.
