[ESS] Polymode is on MELPA

[Mathieu Basille]

Dear Vitalie,

This is great news! I'm glad to see this fantastic project moving forward.

I tried to install and use the new version now hosted on MELPA, but I've 
not been successful yet. Before I forget, Emacs version is 24.3.1 (on 
Debian Jessie). Here are the steps I did:

1) Install the package through Emacs package system. The package installed 
without any problem, in the same directory as all other packages 
("~/.emacs.d/elpa/" for me).

2) Remove the 'setq load-path' from my old polymode configuration in my 
Emacs init files. However, I left the 'require' statements (poly-R, 
poly-markdown, poly-noweb) -- if I remove them too, nothing much happens, 
files are opened in Fundamental mode.

3) Activate Markdown and R modes in my init files, as detailed in the 
section "Activation of Polymodes".

4) Open a .Rmd or .Rnw file. The initialization fails with the error: 
"Invalid function: polymode-register-weaver".

5) Try to nail the problem down, using an empty init file. End up with the 
same problem and same error: "File mode specification error: (Invalid 
function: polymode-register-weaver)"

Am I missing something obvious? Let me know if I can provide additional 
useful information.
Could you maybe provide a basic/minimal .emacs that would get us started?

Thanks a lot for your efforts on polymode!
Mathieu.
