Minibuffer changes in svn

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lukas,
Yes, this is intentional.

The problem with just speaking  the value of the "current field"
is that it was not correctly speaking the default value for
functions like read-from-minibuffer, it was also having trouble
speaking the right thing as one cycled in the minibuffer history
(from memory).

I could set things up to skip the minibuffer prompt, just haven't
hit cases where  the output was verbvose.

    Lukas> The default value is thus spoken twice.
