I built dave's mods with no problems, because I always compile the kernel, so I just followed his instructions and replaced the speakup directory in staging and it went without a hitch. It takes computer time, but that is what they are for. I have not tried the unicode fixes, I think they are still in process and I like some of the things Dave has done with his mods.
