One step ahead of you!

I copied a text-to-speech plugin for gaim and converted it to spit messages
to mythOSD. It was really annoying, so I abandoned it. Plus, gaim keeps
changing their plugin structure and they STILL don't have a decent perl
interface, so I gave up.

It did work pretty well, though, except it sometimes crashed gaim.
