For example if you autoload server-name, the whole

(defcustom server-name "server"
  "The name of the Emacs server, if this Emacs process creates one.
The command `server-start' makes use of this.  It should not be
changed while a server is running."
  :group 'server
  :type 'string
  :version "23.1")

is duplicated to the loaddefs file and now you have two definitions in
two separate files.

Get rid of the set-variable. Nowhere else uses it to demonstrate how to
change a defcustom'd variable. Otherwise we have a lot more autoloads to
do.
