[Emacspeak] Detecting emacspeak directory

[Robert Melton <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the best way to find the emacspeak directory, I currently use a combination of a bash script and some emacs lisp, but per another thread (Re: [Emacspeak] swiftmac does not say punctuation while reading lines) it might not be working in all cases. 

The bash script:

#!/bin/bash

if which emacspeak _name >/dev/null; then
  ESD=`emacspeak --batch --load get-emacspeak-path.el 2> /dev/null | tail -1 | sed 's/"//g'`
else
  ESD=`emacs --batch --load get-emacspeak-path.el 2> /dev/null | tail -1 | sed 's/"//g'`
fi

echo $ESD

The lisp code that is run

(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.emacs.el"))
(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.emacs"))
(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.emacs.d/init.el"))
(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.config/emacs/init.el"))
(print emacspeak-directory)

Better ideas?
