 Scenario: Created new role with Schneider's plugin, restricting new role
 to only making  & editing pages. However, users in this new role were not
 on the "Page Author" list, so pages could not be transfered to their
 ownership.

 Causes:
 1. wp_user_level was not being set in $wpdb->usermeta when these users are
 created
 2. get_editable_user_ids looks for the value in #1 when creating the
 authors list.

 changing

 {{{
 $level_key = $wpdb->prefix . 'user_level';
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 $level_key = $wpdb->prefix . 'capabilities';
 }}}

 showed all users, but doesn't respect levels.

 Also, this doesn't pay any heed to page vs. post permissions.
