This is defined twice.  You might want to remedy that.

I've tried to fix that in muse--rel--3.02--patch-28 and
muse--main--1.0--patch-292.

If you want to do PDF/LaTeX publishing, it's much better to use the
3.02 release branch.  The --main branch is still in flux

The 3.02 release branch may be obtained as follows.
