It's a defvar, not a defcustom. The code doesn't seem to have been
touched in a while, so I assume setting that variable is safe, but if
it's intended to be used that way, a defcustom would communicate that
option clearly.
I think a list of additional directories to search would be a better
candidate for a defcustom though.
