Description
As referenced in #438394: Add to Drupal 7 Core and in relation to #439292: Port to Drupal 7:
What would be necessary to let the block classes be defined in the themename.info file? Could you point me in any direction? I looked for a while on api.drupal.org and in common.inc and theme.inc but couldn't find exactly what I wanted.

@tstoeckler: We (Four Kitchens) are actually in the middle of developing this feature internally as a favor to Top Notch Themes. I've altered Shannon Lucas to add some TODO comments to the code and commit his latest work.

Shannon Lucas has committed this feature to the 6.x-1.x-dev snapshot. It won't get recompiled for several hours, so you'll need to check it out of CVS instead of downloading it from the project page.

Is there a status update, BTW? Is Four Kitchens / Shannon Lucas still on this? Would be nice to know.
I'll stick my head into it a little bit more, in the next few days(/weeks)...

tstoeckler: Progress on this feature has stalled a bit due to other work. I'll look into the status next week.
