Access Control for Administrative Tasks/Areas

Something I have had issues with on multiple sites I have worked on is administrative areas and permissions.

Example:
If I build a site for a client and then decide I want the client to be able to edit certain areas of the admin panel ("/admin/settings/site-information") but I don't want them to have full access to the administration area then there really isn't a good solution.

So, I ask... What exactly can be done about the issue? What would be some of the best work arounds?

Perhaps it should be implemented through views, if the feature for a view type of "Admin" were added? Or maybe a new module to allow for this sort of granular permissions? Maybe a module that simply adds permissions based on path?

Any ideas on this folks?
