We should be able to make existing blocks adminable. For example, make a menu block show up in the admin.

I think this would be really handy. The other option would be turning the current Admin section into a region so we can just drop blocks into it from the block administration page.

I support this idea, but let's stick with doing this either through a checkbox on each block's configuration page or a selector / adder on the admin/settings/admin page. The theme regions are not really modifiable by a module and I think there are good reasons we should keep block visibility and admin blocks separate (ok, they are actually modifiable through hook_system_info_alter() but that's not very polite is it?)

I can look at this or feel free to beat me to it with a patch.

and yes, I'd love to have those check boxes in the "Enabled blocks" section of admin/settings/admin
