I've modified the diff a little to try and make it even more
defensive.  Now gnus-article-x-face-command's defcustom uses
gnus-article-compface-xbm's definition if bound, and the copy/pasted
initialization from gnus-article-compface-xbm's defvar in gnus-ems.el
otherwise.

This seems unlikely to cause serious problems, and fixes the cus-dep
failure, so unless there are objections, I'm going use this patch in
the forthcoming debian emacs21 package.

Here's the diff:
