bug#12582: 24.1.50; customize settings not persisting across sessions + CHANGED outside Customize flag issue

[Hilary J Holz]

That was one of my realizations in this process; that I've hit the point at 
which I need to get up to speed on BDD for emacs.

That way I could spawn a pristine copy to start with, not to mention have emacs 
to keep notes with while working on the problem.

Any favorite references for getting up to speed in the area? I'm fluent in BDD 
in other platforms.
