I've written a snippet of code that takes faces that weren't
previously defined with customize, or had been changed behind
customize's back, and still lets customize grok the necessary
information about them so that customiize-face will work with the
proper values.  

It works well for everything except background images and inherited
stuff.  I've been really busy at work, and haven't had a chance to fix
those last two things.  I was planning on handing it of to Per once I
was finished, but it may be awhile.

I'm willing to let anyone who wants to play with it have a look at
what I have so far.
