I think we really want something like

	(defcustom global-map
	  "blabla"
	  :get 'custom-keymap-to-alist
	  :set 'custom-update-keymap-from-alist)

I think it's important that the defcustom declares `global-map'
rather than some new pseudo variable.
And most likely, it'll be important to do the diff-list kind of trick
so that users can enter (and save) additions and removals rather
than editing/saving the whole keymap which will quickly lead
to undesired effects when upgrading (where the user won't ses the
new bindings).
