Hello Jude, and whoever else cares

As a matter of fact, it seems like the current build of emacs 19.34
can already do the necessary tricks to get it working with a speech
synthesizer. In a short test I ran yesterday evening, the only changes
relative to the normal starting procedure of emacs were:

1) set TERM=ansi 
   This disables the conio-style output routines that are used for
   TERM=internal, or when TERM is not set at all.
   You may need an /etc/termcap file, and maybe also 
   set TERMCAP=/etc/termcap
   If not yet present, an ANSI.SYS driver might also be needed.

2) make sure it starts up in 80x25 mode, insted of its default of
   80x50 for VGA cards. Editing the _emacs file should help.

Within the *very* limited stability of my testing configuration for
this kind of thing (using SBTALKER.EXE from Creative Labs, and
TinyTalk to drive it), this did seem to work.
