Agreed, I ran into this exact thing in the last 48 hours or so working on a patch for the block module and looking at block hooks in general. A quick search shows that only block, forum and statistics core modules use 'configure' - so perhaps the rarity of its use kept it from being documented. But knowing that you can add configuration options to a block would certainly be helpful for module contributors.
IMO the update docs should instruct module authors to move block settings into the "configure" page. It's best for consistency and usability. Anyone have time to write the docs? ;)
Neil once posted an explanation of the modified _block() hook. I believe it was part of his patch. Neil?
The documentation in hook_block() on drupaldocs.org should be fully updated. Implementing the 'configure' op isn't strictly part of updating a module. However, I do think it should be documented now. Bug me in IRC /next/ week and I will do it myself if you catch me at a good time. I'm a bit short on time for this week. -Neil http://civicspacelabs.org/ http://delocalizedham.com/
