This enhancement has indeed taken place! I just changed speakupconf to allow for a second argument to be passed to the script, telling it to use this argument as an alternate directory to save or load speakup and speech parameters. The patch was recently committed to git master (thanks William) so a 'git pull' should get you this new version of the script and the spkguide.txt (speakup users guide) has also been updated with the additional speakupconf information. Hopefully this will help folks who want to come up with custom speech settings for different applications at different times and have them switch automatically. I think a bit of clever shell scripting and aliaseing can go a long ways here.
