Richard Williamson already has, its called Preferences (2.0 and up).
Fire up Preferences and look in the section with the picture of a
menu.  Check out the right side, labeled Keyboard Alternatives.

I guess I knew about this since I got 2.0, but never really thought
to *do* anything with it until this discussion came up.

I just set cmd-Q to be quit *in all apps* on my machine.  Note that
for this to take effect for any app which is currently running, you
must quit and restart that app.
