Making README a product
Generated by simply copying README.org. The trick of making README a symbolic link was, well, a trick, and seems to confuse poor Gitlab.

-* Overview
-
- Geiser is a generic Emacs/Scheme interaction mode, featuring an
- enhanced REPL and a set of minor modes improving Emacs' basic scheme
- major mode. The main functionalities provided are:
-
- - Evaluation of forms in the namespace of the current module.
- - Macro expansion.
- - File/module loading.
- - Namespace-aware identifier completion (including local bindings,
- names visible in the current module, and module names).
- - Autodoc: the echo area shows information about the signature of
- the procedure/macro around point automatically.
- - Jump to definition of identifier at point.
- - Access to documentation (including docstrings when the
- implementation provides it).
- - Listings of identifiers exported by a given module.
- - Listings of callers/callees of procedures.
- - Rudimentary support for debugging (list of
- evaluation/compilation error in an Emacs' compilation-mode
- buffer).
- - Support for inline images in schemes, such as Racket, that treat
- them as first order values.
-
- NOTE: if you're not in a hurry, Geiser's website
- (http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/) contains a nicer manual, also
- included in Geiser tarballs as a texinfo file (doc/geiser.info).
-
-* Requirements
-
- Geiser needs Emacs 23.2 or better, and at least one of the
- supported scheme implementations:
- - Guile 2.2 or better.
- - PLT Racket 6.0 or better.
- - Chicken 4.8.0 or better.
- - MIT/GNU Scheme 9.1.1 or better.
- - Chibi 0.7.3 or better.
- - Chez 9.4 or better.
-
-* Installation
-
- The easiest way is to use MELPA, and just type
- =M-x package-install RET geiser= inside emacs.
-
- Geiser can be used either directly from its uninstalled source tree
- or byte-compiled and installed after performing the standard
- configure/make/make install dance. See the INSTALL file for more details.
-
-** Chicken Addendum
- These steps are necessary to fully support Chicken Scheme, but are
- not required for any other scheme.
-
- - Install the necessary support eggs:
-
-#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
- $ chicken-install -s apropos chicken-doc
-#+END_EXAMPLE
-
- - Update the Chicken documentation database:
-
-#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
- $ cd `csi -p '(chicken-home)'`
- $ curl http://3e8.org/pub/chicken-doc/chicken-doc-repo.tgz | sudo tar zx
-#+END_EXAMPLE
-
-* Basic configuration
-
- The loading invocations above install all supported Scheme
- implementations. You can list explicitly the ones that you want by
- setting the variable =geiser-active-implementations= *before* loading
- geiser.el. For instance:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
- (setq geiser-active-implementations '(chicken guile))
-#+END_SRC
-
- On opening a scheme file, Geiser will try to guess its Scheme,
- defaulting to the first in the list. Use =C-c C-s= to select the
- implementation by hand (on a per file basis).
-
- Check the geiser customization group for some options with:
-
-#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
- M-x customize-group RET geiser RET
-#+END_EXAMPLE
-
- In particular, customize =geiser-<impl>-binary=, which should point
- to an executable in your path.
-
- To start a REPL, =M-x geiser=.
-
-** Completion with company-mode
-
- Geiser offers identifier and module name completion, bound to
- =M-TAB= and =M-`= respectively. Only names visible in the current
- module are offered.
-
- While that is cool and all, things are even better: if you have
- [[http://company-mode.github.io/][company mode]] installed, Geiser's completion will use it. Just
- require company-mode and, from then on, any new scheme buffer or
- REPL will use it.
