One option for placing personal configuration into public config files
is to use org-babel and to place the personal variables *outside* of
emacs-lisp code blocks in tables or external lists.  For example with
recent versions of org-babel the following

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+tblname: configuration-variables
| parameter   | value              |
|-------------+--------------------|
| script-path | ~/.emacs.d/scripts |

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var config=configuration-variables[2,1]
  (message "script dir is %s" config)
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

will tangle to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(let ((config (quote "~/.emacs.d/scripts")))
(message "script dir is %s" config)
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Cheers -- Eric
