np! If I had thought before writing my mail, I would also have mentioned the
backquote:
(setq muse-project-alist
`("website" ,muse-path))
The backquote means that everything is quoted EXCEPT symbols preceded with
comma. See http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/macros.html and the section on
backquote and you'll have a much cleaner looking setq.
