I'd imagine two menu choices to be simpler than customizing a variable.

I've checked in a modified version of this:
1) You must set tool-bar-position in :set also, otherwise customize will
complain and say it is set outside customize.
2) We don't want to disable the tool bar here. If so it contradicts the value
for tool-bar-mode, which would be confusing.
