That is because in Emacs user-variable-p also returns t on custom
variables. That is not the case in XEmacs, which still expects *.

I believe you're on to something with the minor mode thing. It
definitely looks better than the savehist-install/savehist-uninstall
pair (which I just introduced anyway, so it's not like we must support
them for compatibility).

Only now, and only to complement savehist-install, which I introduced
to clean up savehist-load.
I think I'll give the mode idea a shot. I'll try to make it
compatible with XEmacs.
