[arch-general] apparently bash export is broken for users

[Jude DaShiell]

I tried setting up emacspeak and emacspeak needs two variables exported to 
the user's .profile file in order to work.  The EMACSPEAK_DIR variable 
needs to point at the location of emacspeak and DTK_PROGRAM needs to point 
at the speech server you intend to use.  The export commands did not 
create a .profile file for me nor did they update a .profile file for me 
with their contents in it.  Using echo to create and populate the .profile 
also has no good effect.  I'm about to use git to pull the current version 
of emacspeak down onto this system and try with that but I downloaded and 
built eflite and emacspeak that's on this machine from the aur repository.  
Fortunately, I can test emacspeak on debian without much difficulty and 
may need to check out where debian stores those export variables since the 
debian version I have made work in the past.
