I extended the user.module in order to allow descriptions for
permissions because it is sometimes difficult to figure out what a
certain permission really does. In hook_perm() you can now return an
array like that (example taken from node.module):

<?php
function node_perm() {
  return array(
    'administer nodes' => 'Allows editing and deleting of all nodes',
    'access content' => 'Allows to view content'
  );
}
?>




You can also freely mix "described" permissions with old/regular ones;
i.e. it does not break the current permission system.
