I feel a little guilty as it was my suggestion that muse files use an
extension. Quite a few people have complained about it, since a .muse
extension became the default. 

It really is the best way though; the old scheme based on directories
required muse to test for the directory location for every file
loaded, including those unrelated to muse. And muse sometimes got it
wrong; I build my websites with make, and have to switch all my
Makefiles away from muse mode was irritating. 

If you have access to a known windows command line, it's very easy to
achieve. Perhaps as penance, I should write some lisp to achieve the
same thing.
