They complained about the fact that the `define-minor-mode' code
had to be at the end because it ran (<mode> 1) if the variable
was non-nil.   I fixed it by using `eval-after-load' such that even
if the `define-minor-mode' code is in the middle of the file,
the (<mode> 1) call is only made at the end of the file.
