    Description

      There are several things wrong with the section links block:

      1. Block instance configuration doesn't work. Still has config_instance.html file, should be using edit_form.php.
      2. Doesn't conform with our current coding style.
      3. Could be made more effecient by using modinfo cache.
      4. Could be using a renderer.

      Just to get started....
