Unfortunately, I never saw Andreas Röhler's reply of later that day. He

This is true, but I don't see how it addresses my question (and I'm not
quite sure what "toggles it right from the spot" means). I asked about the
line:

       ;;+(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'flymake-find-file-hook)

in the source. Should it be removed? Or uncommented? For me, adding it to
my global Emacs configuration works fine, suggesting it can indeed be
uncommented, so that when flymake-mode is turned on, it is activated
automatically in new buffers. Also, currently there seems to be no way of
customizing flymake-mode to be on from startup, which itself would seem to
require a new customization.
