I'm not sure what is goin on here but I tried successfully to build
speakup from git and did a 'make modules_install' from root and all
modules were built and installed in the ..../extra/speakup and show
today's date.

But when I try and update /sys/module/speakup/parameters/characters to
get rid of that zehd crap, I get the following error.

[  957.339003] character descriptions reset to defaults
and the update does not take place.  I get this when I edit the file
directly and attempt to save it.  If I echo the updated file from
another location, to the proper place, I get no messages but it
doesn't get updated. 

Also, I do not see a file called direct anywhere in the
/sys/module/speakup/parameters direct any place.  This makes me wonder
if I even got the right code updated.  I can't really tell for sure.
When I do a cat version,

I see 3.0.3 with software synthesizer driver 2.4.

Also, when I do a speakupconf load, I still get all the 'invalid
parameter' errors and my punct_* files get emptied.
