[drupal-support] Making a Drupal website speak

[Bèr Kessels]

Kobus,

No I did not test it. I still need to figure out how to get my speech stuff 
working in KDE. 
I just came with the idea for a theme, because ALL content is ran trough 
themes. So you can easily do magic to any page in your theme. or example 
return an ogg instead of HTML. 

But, as said: all content all strings are ni the transatiopn databasze, so I 
think an easy way is to hack t(), so that it calls a speech function.
