setting marks under emacspeak-13.0

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

this is because something in the default setup under
mandrake turns on transient-mark-mode
--you should turn that off.

transient mark mode is not very useful if you cannot see,
and causes untold pain to emacspeak's internals.
