I introduced 'left_blocks_in_footer' back in 1.3.10 as an easy way to
create two-column layouts:

So it effectively makes all left-side blocks appear on the right side
automatically.


Looks like Oliver added the right_blocks variant some time during 1.5.0
development, probably for symmetry:

public_html/lib-common.php?r1=1.656&r2=1.657>

Not sure if anyone's using $_CONF['right_blocks_in_footer']. If not, I'd
say we remove it again.
