speakup: built-in, or module

[Steve Holmes]

Maybe I'm stuck in my old ways or something, but I still like having 
speech as early as possible so I still use a statically built kernel 
with my Speakout external synth. But I use software speech a lot too so 
I might consider switching to modules so I can replace speakup more 
readily without having to rebuild kernels; even though building a kernel 
isn't all that hard either.
