This is a 'fork' of Colloquy that reads all the messages in one or all of your

open chat rooms using Mac's hilarious text-to-speech voices. I use fork in 

quotations since Colloquy's source isn't on github, it's here:

http://source.colloquy.info/svn/trunk

Based on Resources/BSD License.txt, it appears Colloquy has been released

under the BSD License, which I have propagated. 

To turn on voices, open Colloquy Preferences (Command-,) and check off

Text to Speech in the Alerts tab. You can supply a room such as "#colloquy" 

to limit the reading to only one room. I took the liberty of speeding up

the voices a little and removing two of the most annoying ones. 

Unlike Colloquy trunk, this requires 10.5+. 

Wouldn't this be better as a plugin?

Hm, probably... but at least on my mac, plugins have a tendency to just

crash Colloquy. Also, I noticed that the source had some built in hooks

to play speech for users in your buddy list so I just expanded on that. 

Finally, it was more fun to play with the source.
