[wp-hackers] New add_meta_box function

[Stephen Rider]

Maybe just check for version #?

A bit kludgy, I know, but you do know exactly when the change was  
made....

Actually, this is a really good question in general terms, as making  
this distinction is probably going to help a number of plugins  
seeking backwards-compatibility.
