I'll take a look.  Geiser can be used without calling make, by directly
loading geiser.el from the load directory; perhaps all it's needed is to
add the .info somewhere, and not run make at all (in fact, i took some
pains back in the day to make sure that everything would work
uninstalled)... but i'm just wild guessing, because i don't know well
how (m)elpa works... i'll try to streamline the process when i find a
minute...

Thanks again.

Cheers,

P.S.  The current git version has a bit better support for autodoc
of define-type constructors, in case you wanna try it ;-)
