Er, that might be a stupid talk.  `(fboundp 'custom-autoload)'
means that we don't need to mind even if those who use old Emacs
cannot do `customize-variable' before loading Gnus, doesn't it?
If so, could you commit the new autoload?

In addition to this, it seems good to add `custom-autoload' to
lpath.el to silence old Emacsen:
