all CPTs

 Currently, wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php has the following code, which
 determines if the "template" meta box is shown for in the admin:


 {{{
 if ( 'page' == $post->post_type && 0 != count( get_page_templates( $post )
 ) ) {
 }}}

 But, custom post types should be able to use this templating functionality
 too. I'm sure it would need more than just patching meta-boxes.php to
 enable it, but it would be awesome if this was turned into a registerable
 capability of custom post types.
