   If it is smart enough to do this, it could also delete them from
   the old custom file.  Would you like to implement that?

Deleting them from the old custom file is definitely not always going
to be desirable.  It usually will be if the old file is .emacs, but
not if the old custom file is .emacs-21.3 and the new one .emacs-21.4.

Sincerely,

Luc.
