ibmtts speakup connector

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
Thanks for the link.

I didn't find I needed to alter the source code to get it to compile on 
my system (a 32-bit system, fairly standard archlinux setup IE. I've not 
adjusted the default base packages).

As for the pitch thing, isn't that what speakup conf is for?

As for the language thing, its not cropped up for me as I only use UK 
English but its something which I think should be sorted if not possible.

I am sorry but I am not a C programmer so modifying the source code is 
difficult for me, but if anyone has patches or made a new version 
addressing some of the issues mentioned I will look at adding them to an 
AUR package.
