They are definitly out dated.  From what I could tell, there was
nomention of how to do a modules-only install.  The install script
looks like it is for the older way with patching and all.  Tonight, I
did a 'make' followed by a 'make modules_install' and that seemed to
work.  I did notice some reference to /usr/src/linux-headers... with a
depmod; not sure what exactly was going on in there.

This brings up another problem I ran into.  The modules_install target
put the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.26.1.../extra instead of
..../extra/speakup.  The debian packages placed the original speakup
modules in a speakup directory.  That sounds like the right place to
me.  This make file from git left the modules in one level up so I
moved them down into speakup and I now have a later speakup.
