It is accepted practice in GUI programs that you have some widget on the 
upper part of the frame to turn the tool bar on and off.  Emacs doesn't 
support such widgets yet, but adding that to the Options menu would IMHO 
be a reasonable replacement.  (We could put a Tool-Bar OFF button on the 
tool bar itself, but then there would be no way to turn it on again ;-).

So, while haviong a top-level menu-bar item for this would IMO be 
exessive, adding it to Options sounds reasonable.
