[ESS] Polymode is on MELPA

[Mathieu Basille]

Hi Vitalie,

This is odd:

- I did find "polymode-register-weaver" in polymode-weave.el (you wrote 
'polymode-weave*r*.el', a typo?).

- 'define-polymode' is correctly loaded from the polymode.el of the MELPA 
archive (~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-20140512.2037 for me).

In addition, I renamed the folder where the old polymode was, so that I 
don't see how Emacs could possibly still find it (as a matter of fact, if I 
completely remove the old folder, I get the same error).

Any idea? Sometimes, Emacs is still a mystery for me...
Mathieu.
