But why do we need both the defcustom and the defvar in the macro?

    First, this was written a few years before defcustom came about.
    Second, I haven't followed things for a number of years.
    Is it possible to define permanent local vars using defcustom now?

I don't know.  Anyone?
So, Glen's reply confirms it.  Short of fixing defcustom, the right solution would be to tell defvar to not zap defcustom's doc-string with an empty string, as it was before the change.  Not sure when this change in behavior of defvar happened, but probably within the last year or so.
