In Emacs-CVS (to become Emacs-22) there is a macro
`define-global-minor-mode' which can create a global mode (that applies to
"all" buffers) from a local minor mode (which can only be turned on one
buffer at a time).
That should do the trick for you, although a newbie will probably need extra
help to make use of it.
Also it's being renamed as we speak.
