(This patch is only vaguely related to this, but I figure I should put it somewhere in case there is interest.)

We whipped out a quick "audit" page for one of our customers who wanted to see all role assignments on the site. If you think that this functionality should be added to the unsupported pages, then I can work on it some more....

I think there's some crossover here. To integrate Tim's report as a report (if you see what mean) doesn't make much sense. It works better as an option from the user's profile. My intention was never to show the full list of capabilities, just the role, but it's nearly the same thing.
