Emacspeak package for blind users



I have uploaded a new package emacspeak by T. V. Raman
<raman@adobe.com> which makes emacs accessible for a blind user.  Here
is a quote from the author's description:

Emacspeak is the first full-fledged speech output system that will
allow someone who cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system. (Until
now, the only option available to visually impaired users has been to
use a talking PC as a terminal.) Emacspeak is built on top of
Emacs. Once you start emacs with emacspeak loaded, you get spoken
feedback for everything you do. Your mileage will vary depending on
how well you can use Emacs.  There is nothing that you cannot do
inside Emacs:-)

Description: 
 emacspeak  - speech output interface to Emacs
Changes: 
 emacspeak (5.0-1) unstable stable; urgency=low
 .
   * Added line to emacspeak script to source /etc/emacspeak.conf which sets
     environment variables.  Added emacspeakconfig to set the default
     values, and to add or subtract users from whatever group owns the
     output device.
   * Building documentation files on the fly: concatenating all the source
     files, then running perl script `explain' to extract the docs into
     separate .texinfo files, then running makeinfo on the master
     .texinfo file to build the .info files.  Put extra commands for
     this into debian/debMakefile, and added an include line in
     Makefile.
   * Makefile could not install to a different directory than the
     configured directory.  Moved the line `make config CWD=$(libdir)'
     to permit this.
   * Initial Release.
