Comment (by ryan):

 Note that trunk has much different box styles and that the right hand
 boxes are gone. Some porting will be necessary.

 Some API for plugin authors to add boxes would compliment this nicely.
 Something like:

 {{{
 function add_meta_box($id, $title, $fields, $context) {...};

 add_meta_box('foo', __('Foo'), array(key => 'the_foo', 'title' => __('The
 Foo'), 'type' => 'text'), 'post');
 }}}

 Settings for boxes added via plugin would not be persisted.  The plugin
 would define them each time.
