Good, but you shouldn't use `defcustom' for your configurations else the
emacs help facilities will say that those variables are defined in your
init file, won't show the real (upstream) default values, and the links
go into you init file instead to the file where the package in question
defines the variable.  Use a simple `setq'.

  (setq LaTeX-verbatim-regexp ".*verbatim\\*?"
        LaTeX-item-regexp "\\(\\(bib\\)?item\\|method\\)\\b")
