DecTalk External (decext) testers wanted!

Greg,

I've updated speakup2.tgz so that it contains bns migration also:
https://github.com/bytefire/speakup-decext/raw/master/speakup2.tgz

Replace speakup directory under drivers/staging/ with the updated one
and run this from root of kernel source tree: make
M=drivers/staging/speakup clean && make M=drivers/staging/speakup

I still need to update the patches I sent.
