+If a -l <language> option is given, it will be passed to pico2wave.
+
+Exit status of $SELF is that of pico2wave.
+
+Examples:
+
+  $SELF 'Hello world.'
+    Speaks "Hello world" in the default language (en-US)
+
+  $SELF -l en-GB 'Hello world.'
+    As above, in a British accent.
+
+  fortune -s | $SELF
+    Reads from standard input.
+
+  $SELF < /etc/motd
+    Speak a text file. Don't forget the < or it says the filename instead.
