Just a detail regarding your project, I am (re)checking text-to-speech 
on the neo, and a working multi-language configuration today is 
speech-dispatcher+espeak+alsa . I will upload the ipk packages if 
necessary soon (the packages are available in OE but not in the OM 
repository).

Anyway, your dead man's switch will probably be convulsively scrutinized 
  by the Assassin/Morgue couple ;-)
