Hmm, okay.  I didn't think about that.  Maybe my working environment
is too nosiy for me to feel bothered by some beeps. :)  But your point
seems reasonable.

Yes.  I looked at the Makefile and could think of some ways to easily
achieve this.  But since I'm not too sure what would be the
appropriate way (or cosmetically best way), I'd like to leave it to
someone who are more familiar with the release Makefile.

Yep.  This increase the possibility for more blind individuals to
start using our system and then we can get more input and help from
them.

     Cheers,
