I think the basic idea is right, but I think that using `put' for those
variables is not a good idea (it makes the cus-load.el file large and
slow).  It's probably preferable to build a single alist associating
file names to the list of vars defined in them (or maybe a hash-table).

Of course, I haven't tried it, so it may end up being just as slow/big.
