But then you lose the knowledge if it is capitalized or not.  When
speech dispatcher uses the espeak module, I don't see ways this could
be overridden.  It even does this when I have capitalization set to
None in speechd.conf.

I guess the only way I'm gonna get rid of this to get into the code
and hack the change then.  Hearing "capital" before every uppercase
letter is very wasteful of my time.
