The function _gnc_option_refresh_ui was intended for that use from
the guile side, but it could probably be promoted to use by both C
and scheme. (If you go that route, you should remove the _ from the
start of the name).

For now, it's probably easiest to use the function I mentioned above.
If we find ourselves implementing multiple GUIs for several options,
we should probably generalize the code to handle that more automatically.
