Thanks, Magnus -- that's awesome!  By trying to use it, though, I
found my "design" is unwieldy, as it will require me to modify many,
many variables.  Your example, though, led me to this:

   (defvar joe-available-dictionaries
     '(choice :tag "Dictionaries"
              (const :tag "English (US)" english-us)
			  (const :tag "German" german)))

   (defcustom joe-foo nil
	 ""
	 :type `(repeat
			 (list
			  (string :tag "Foo")
			  ,joe-available-dictionaries
			  (string :tag "Bar")))
	 :group 'joe)

which is much closer to what I want (though not at all what I asked
for originally).  Now, I only have one variable to manipulate.

Thanks!
