  // This hook returns an array, each component of which is an array of block
  // information. The array keys are the 'delta' values used in other block
  // hooks.
  //
  // The required block information is a block description, which is shown
  // to the site administrator in the list of possible blocks. You can also
  // provide initial settings for block weight, status, etc.
  //
  // Many options are defined in hook_block_info():

    // info: The name of the block.

    // DRUPAL_CACHE_PER_ROLE is the default.

  // This sample shows how to provide default settings. In this case we'll
  // enable the block in the first sidebar and make it visible only on
  // 'node/*' pages. See the hook_block_info() documentation for these.
