You don't need to patch any libraries, you need to arrange for the
defcustom's to be re-evaluated at startup time.
But if we want to be able to re-dump any library, and let it run on a
different system after that, we should indeed stay away of
non-constant default values of user options as much as we can.
However, getting there will not be easy and will take a long time, if
ever.
