Excellent!  Grant Rettke has also created a package recently
(http://www.wisdomandwonder.com/article/6408/geiser-0-2-1-elpa-package),
and i was thinking about integrating the packaging process into Geiser's
build system one of these days.

If you don't mind my stealing it, your script, transmuted into a make
rule and with some simplifications when i can move things to Geiser's
side (like autoload cookies), will make possible to just do 'make elpa'
in a source checkout to build the ELPA package.  I can then set up an
ELPA repo in Geiser's download area, and also upload it to Marmalade (if
we can solve the problems Grant and I encountered with the latter these
days) on every new release.

I hope to have this in place for 0.2.2.

Thanks,
jao

P.S: BTW, Grant and i added a 'dir' file to make Geiser's info file
visible in Emacs out of the box: does it work for you that way without
that file?  (i.e., does Geiser's manual appear in the info top level
index?)
