This really looks a nice approach. As it this is a GPL released plugin,
setting it on wp-config is really not an option, but can be used on personal
sites.

Populating the global var $wp_user_roles on init looks really a good option.
Then I just have to save the settings to the site options.

I will play with this on my sandbox. The only con I see, is about the
request made by scribu: Allowing a blog to set its own roles (different from
sitewide ones).
So, I will test both options on development and sure I will found the best
balance between both.

Thanks for your comments! Them are so valuable,
