Comment (by ringmaster):

 Using this system, which does not explicitly deny caps:

  1. User X, is assigned role A containing cap C.
  1. Remove ("Deny") cap C from user X.
  1. Switch user to use role B having cap C.
  1. User X is once again granted cap C, in spite of previous denial.

 Maybe add a new column, "grant", that could be set to 0 to deny a cap on a
 per-user basis?

 Also- Using the current system, you can be assinged more than one role.
 We'd need to determine what cap came from what role, perhaps rebuilding
 all of a user's caps whenever caps are set.  Assuming we'd like to keep
 that functionality.

 FYI, I started moving the Role Manager as a core patch last week, but got
 hung up trying to use mdawaffe's admin ajax madness.  The only thing
 working at this point is the display of role caps.
