What handa's complaining about -- just define the minor mode
defaulting to on as far as I understand it.

E.g.:
unify-8859-on-encoding-mode's value is t
Documentation:
Non-nil if Unify-8859-On-Encoding mode is enabled.
See the command `unify-8859-on-encoding-mode' for a description of this minor-mode.
| Setting this variable directly does not take effect;
| use either M-x customize or the function `unify-8859-on-encoding-mode'.
You can customize this variable.
Defined in `ucs-tables'.
No!
