This is good timing, because I am about to open a bug on gentoo,
asking our kernel maintainer to apply the source patch to the
gentoo-sources kernel so that we can build speakup on gentoo as modules
outside the kernel tree, similar to how the alsa drivers, for example,
are currently handled.

For those who are curious, the patch to apply to the kernel to get
speakup to build this way is kernel-integration-2.6.24-source.patch.

I will post an update to this list as soon as I know whether gentoo will
be able to support building speakup this way.

Thanks,
