Do it yourself!
I am happy to see that you've been hacking ELinks. Perhaps someone will review, test, and apply this patch, but it won't be me because I'm currently more interested in fixing the bugs that block 0.12 than in adding new features. This code appears to be better than a screen reader, because it reads complete lines regardless of how wide the window is; and better than just piping the formatted document to an external process, because the user can choose a starting position and easily stop the previous output. Is that correct? Is there a risk that if the festival process is somehow blocked, then ELinks will also be blocked trying to write to the pipe? The code uses dup2 and execl. Does this cause problems on non-POSIX ports?
