as long as it continues to build against the kernel, not being in mainline
is not a problem, although it certainly makes more work for karl.

i happen to agree with kyle re preferring a screen reader in
userspace. Brltty already does this for braille, and also supports speech,
although i don't think it supports keyboard shortcuts. come to think of
it, i am not sure how easy it would be to intercept keyboard shortcuts
for screen reader use in a console.
