After installing horde for the first time, the following 2 portal blocks
stood out
for trying:
- Horde: Metar Weather
- Horde: Random fortune

However, after activating the respective blocks nothing happened :(  To
be
more precise the weather block showed "no location set"

Than I discovered where those blocks can be configured (in horde =>
Administration => Setup => Portal Block Configuration".  Further more I
discovered from the web that weather block requires mysql, that I don't
have running (no need with the kolab backends).  At least the script
buildMetarDB.php seems to require the mysql backend.

Now to the point: in the case described it would be nice to have the
possibility to disable the weather block, so it does not show up in the
user's block list.  The same is valid for e.g. the fortune block, if the
fortune script won't be present  it is nice to be able to disable block to
show up in the user's block list.

Making the request more general:
- Please, make it configurable which blocks show up in the user's portal
block list.
