 We need a simple API for adding "meta" boxes to the various edit forms
 that insulates plugin authors from layout changes such as the transition
 from dbx to postbox.

 Proposal:

 {{{
 function add_meta_box($id, $title, $callback, $context)
 }}}

 $id is an id for the div tag containing the box; $title is the title of
 the box; $callback is the function to call which will fill the box with
 content; $context is the  context in which the box should be output.
 Context is edit_post, edit_page, edit_link, edit_post_advanced,
 edit_page_advanced, edit_link_advanced.
