Installing orca and making it play nice with Speakup

[Marcel Oats]

Oh, yes it certainly is helpful!  Perhaps, in the future, orca will appear 
in this distro; perhaps this could be due to it still being a testing 
release?  My main reason for choosing this, is that software speech is 
available via speakup, and I have a very unreliable HW synth, and hardly any 
serial ports.
No, I did not compile it from source.  Thanks for clarifying this.
