Doesn't custom-set-variables work inside an "if" clause?  If it does,
then what's the problem of using it only on some systems?

You can run the :set form of the option, with suitable substitutions
for "variable" and "value", instead of setting the value with setq.
But then you'd need to change that every time the :set form changes in
autorevert.el.
