custom-theme-visit-theme doesnt provide a repeater while the usual
customize interface does.

what I want to do is enable one base theme like wheatgrass or whatever.
On top of that I would like to add one zen theme, out of a set of three
zen themes.

When I try the code I get all sorts of confusing behaviour. I iont get
the base theme I expect. The tool-bar doesnt come back when I disable a
zen theme. etc.

I will update the repo for zen and then you can maybe try it?
