New features for speakup

[Jude DaShiell]

I'm using talkingarchlinux over here which standardizes on espeak-ng and 
at least on an installation with talkingarchlinux because of the sound 
output script that runs at beginning of installation my usb speakers 
were found and talkingarchlinux was able to speak over those speakers. 
That script could maybe be elaborated upon to search for pci serial 
ports as well to accommodate this new version of speakup.
