There's a way to tell configure that the whole package is somewhere else, but 
there's no option just for the headers. Does speech-dispatcher come with a 
pkg-config .pc file? If so, we can update brltty's configure to use it. That, 
after all, is the best way since it let's the package itself tell others where 
its various components are.

Makes sense. Again, though, don't add "auto" to the mix as, also for the speech 
driver, "auto" only works if specified by itself. Just specify the speech 
drivers that you'd actually like to use.
