bug#4310: Flymake standardizing(slightly) patch

[Jimmy Yuen Ho Wong]

Ah right. I missed that part of the documentation. Noob mistake.

However, this brings me to a question, since all the initialization is 
essentially done before flymake finally runs syntax check at the end of 
the minor mode definition. If I want to run the minor mode hook before 
syntax check, but not after, what should I do?

Also, I'd imagine some people might want to do something after syntax 
check is done too, like echoing to the minibuffer, or automatically jump 
to the first line of error etc. That means I should probably add a 
post-syntax-check hook. But it seems rather complicated due to the 
number of cases in which it may fail. Any suggestions?
