Can't you put in "(defvar emacs-wiki-variable)" forms in? This should stop
the compiler complaining, without requiring to have emacs-wiki around. If
it is around, then it should still work as required, I think.
Of course, if it's a lot of variables, then remember may get full of
these, which is a pain in another way.
