[dev] Idea for new Horde_Block?

Feel free to develop it in Horde's CVS, just tell us under which name.  
We shouldn't distribute it with Horde by default though.
Maybe we should add a new CVS module called "blocks" where complex, or  
less generic blocks could be developed, similar to the incubator  
module. We could release these blocks separately then. This would also  
be a first step to something I always had in mind: a public database  
for themes and blocks.
