Perhaps we should document a simple way and a complex way. The simple way is that it all gets done by the :set function when the defcustom's expansion is executed. That requires putting the defcustom after the minor mode function and generating a defvar before the function. You'd use custom-initialize-reset. For cases which are more complex, you'd use custom-initialize-default and then write (if foo-mode (foo-mode 1)) at the end of the file. If we are willing to change define-minor-mode, then I do not believe that there is any need for the more complex method, unless there is some reason why the define-minor-mode can not be delayed until all functions called by the minor mode have been defined. If we make define-minor-mode write a compiler defvar, then define the mode function and then write the defcustom, one can use custom-initialize-set if the define-minor-mode is not autoloaded, and custom-initialize-reset if it is to be autoloaded. Actually, custom-initialize-reset is relatively harmless for the default define-minor-mode :set function. (The problems I was referring to concern non minor mode :set functions, as I pointed out in my other message.)
