How it works:
_ within the "sideblockheading" a DIV with class="hide-show" holds a link calling the JS containerDisplaySwitching(). To the user it's represented by the icon "switch.gif" (a plus in a square) at the right end side of the header.
_ all content of the sideblock is surounded by a new <div class="blockcontent" id="'.$attributes['id']."_cont\">"
_ a call of the JS containerDisplaySwitching() changes the state of the appropriate DIV with the content to "display:none/inline" and writes this state into a cookie.
_ at the end of every block I added a call to the JS "containerDisplaySet()". This reads the block's state and hides the content or leaves it visible with every page load.
_ in the stylesheet I added the positioning of the icon:
.sideblockheading .hide-show {
float:right;
}
.sideblockheading a img.hide-show-image {
padding-top:0.25em;
}

Brand-new pagelib.php at your disposal! It slices, it dices, it makes your coffee.
It still doesn't understand women... Read the comments in pagelib.php for a first
impression. Feedback highly encouraged!
Blocks code has undergone significant changes to work with Pages. Flexibility is its
middle name, since I think (without having tried it) that adding e.g. a third
placeholder for "center" blocks in courses, with full support for moving around etc,
will now take about 15 lines of new or edited code. If you are not impressed yet, I
suggest watching a documentary on solar physics. :P
MINOR CHANGES:
--------------
Added instance_allow_config() in the blocks class hierarchy to supplement per-instance
configuration options. You can override it to return true and thus get configuration
amenities without allowing multiple instances.
Minor polishing to comments and documentation (whatever caught my eye was game).
Tightened up some code here and there by utilizing all the new features.
BUGFIXES:
---------
A bug in restore_execute.html caused hidden blocks to not be restored at all.
Code based on the work of Daryl Hawes for the blog module. Thanks, Daryl!
Please test the hell out of it as it's sure to have issues that need to be
ironed out.
