Get the newer release of Hyperbole, V3.06 and install that.
Delete the "hsite.el" file which made it into the distribution accidentally
and then follow all of the instructions from the "README" file.

The "hsite-ex.el" file should explain this.  There is a fix file included
with Hyperbole called "hlvar.el".  If people would write such declarations
for human consumption, e.g. separarting the var-name: from the var-value with
a space, there would be no problem.
