Speakup.conf and the switch-synth scripts

Hi,
finally I managed to find and install the scripts.
They come in the contrib directory of the GIT packages of Speakup.
Speakupconf is OK so far, but with the switch scripts there are some 
problems:
Talkwith: It doesn't include the -V option for Espeakup, so using it 
results in invoking Espeak with the default voice. If non-English, one has 
either to copy the apropriate language file to "default" or not use this 
script. But I think it is possible to accomplish it by adding a language 
parameter.
Speakwith: Why does it cause all capital letters to be spoken, no matter 
what I've set in Speech-Dispatcher; it happens at least with Espeak as the 
default synth. Using or not using the -x parameter makes no difference.
