.emacs, it does not change the behavior that if `custom-file' has

We're really going to have to fix this sometime. Writing into
.emacs is suboptimal. As people start to adopt ~/.xemacs/ to put
personal lisp packages in maybe it will be feasible to make a
migration.
Just for the record, I agree with this. Even without `.xemacs/',
custom-file should default to something other than `.emacs'. To do
so, we must make sure that:
1) Old `.emacs' files with custom options are handled gracefully;
2) The new `.xemacs-custom' file is loaded automatically, after
`.emacs'.
