introduction and testing console screen reader

Hi,
I'm a blind person who has used Unix in some form or other since the
90s, when I got my first shell account.  In 2000, I started running
Linux on my own hardware and I've used it exclusively since then.
I've talked about trying FreeBSD on real hardware for a while now.  I
recently learned that there is a console screen reader in development,
and that was the encouragement I needed to install it on some bare metal.

I've installed FreeBSD and rebuilt the kernel with the vt patch that I
found on review.freebsd.org.  I've also compiled vtspeakd.
It works!  I was able to log in at my console and mess around, with
spoken feedback.
I'm not able to review the screen, so there's plenty of possibility for
improvement, but this looks like a promising first step.
