I really wish that all minor modes would use a variable for their
modeline string.  I don't care what you come up with for the default
for pending-del; it doesn't matter.  I want to be able to easily
change it.  This leads me to want to custom-ize it too, but that's up
to you.

E.g. filladapt does it Right:

(or (assq 'filladapt-mode minor-mode-alist)
    (setq minor-mode-alist (cons (list 'filladapt-mode
				       'filladapt-mode-line-string)
				 minor-mode-alist)))

And I:

(setq filladapt-mode-line-string " FA")
