I think that in the long run, it should be possible to save
customizations in several different files.  When loading customization
files, some variable property would keep track where to save changes
for that variable.  This property would be set to user-init-file for
custom-file by default.

However, that's not something to think about before the release, I
guess.  Short of that, I'd take custom-file out of customize for now,
and just make it a defvar.

I don't think a separate command line option is necessary.
