(Scripts)+timer script to help with studying and stuff

This script acts as a library (to be symlinked/copied into your
project) for interfacing with the 'espeak' and 'play' libraries in
python.  It also has a 'main' functionality where it acts a study
timer with a 40/20 minute split of work to rest.
