Description
We need a simple API for adding "meta" boxes to the various edit forms that insulates plugin authors from layout changes such as the transition from dbx to postbox.
Proposal:
function add_meta_box($id, $title, $callback, $context)
$id is an id for the div tag containing the box; $title is the title of the box; $callback is the function to call which will fill the box with content; $context is the context in which the box should be output. Context is edit_post, edit_page, edit_link, edit_post_advanced, edit_page_advanced, edit_link_advanced.

Patch implements add_meta_box() and do_meta_boxes() with sample edit_post and edit_post_advanced contexts.
