This is related to the TODO:

 ** Convert all defvars with leading '*' in the doc-strings into defcustoms
  of appropriate :type and :group.

I have attached a second patch which fixes this TODO item.

I didn't bother converting the defvar cases in lisp/obsolete/cc-compat.el to
defcustom since I don't feel like it's a good idea to expose this obsolete code
to the user more than necessary.  We should let it rest in peace. What do you
think?

Thanks,
Stefan Kangas
