I'm not sure it matters anyway.  See this code in load-user-init-file
(startup.el):

  (if (not custom-file)
      (setq custom-file (make-custom-file-name user-init-file)))

That's in both 21.4 and 21.5, so I think that ~/.xemacs/custom.el does
get loaded by default unless you pass -q on the command line.
