speechd-el features (was: speechd modules)

[Tim Cross]

Sounds good. I'll use it for a while - possibly while I try to develop
some other output modules and once I've got use to speechd-el to a
greater extent, I'll make some suggestions. 

Actually, so far, I'm pretty impressed with speechd-el. It seems a bit
less intrusive and I've found a few areas were it works better in that
it doesn't have some minor "bugs" I've run into with emacspeak. What I
really like is the whole speechd concept and the abstraction from the
synthesizer level. I think this offers a lot of potential. 

One area I was thinking about this morning was integrating speechd
support into the sawfish window manager. While I personally would be
quite happy without any window manager, places I work often have no
choice but to use a X session and some speech support for the window
manager would be very nice.
