Saving minibuffer history

Is there a straightforward way to persist minibuffer histories across
Emacs invocations?

If not, I'd like to suggest importing this small package.  It was
originally written for XEmacs, but it also works in Emacs.  Its
copyright should be assigned to the FSF along with my other XEmacs
changes.  Usage is best desribed by this NEWS entry:

** Emacs can now save the minibuffer histories from various
minibuffers.  To use this feature, add the line:

   (savehist-load)

to your .emacs.  This will load the minibuffer histories (if any) at
startup, as well as instruct Emacs to save them before exiting.  You
can use Customize to add or remove the histories being saved.


The source follows:

savehist.el
