I've changed the code to call `undefined' which then uses `message'.

Advice is great, indeed.  But w generally try to take existing advices
as indication that we should add hooks and/or refactor code so that
those pieces of advice aren't needed any more.

But don't worry: emacspeak is not the only package that's been relying
on advice for many years.  `unquify' is another one that even comes
bundled with Emacs.
