Comment(by ryan):

 I'm fine with having a supports arg for register_post_type().  I think
 add_post_type_support() is still useful so that capabilities can be added
 after the fact of registration and post_type_supports() is a very readable
 short hand that fits in with current_theme_supports() and
 current_user_can().

 I foresee edit-pages.php and edit-form-adavanced.php being merge and the
 meta box additions being done in a more abstracted way. This patch is just
 another step along the way.

 In an early version of the patch I used the metabox name instead of the
 more generic feature names. For example 'post_thumbnail_meta_box' rather
 than 'post-thumbnails'. I changed it with the idea that the more generic
 cap could be used when checking for other post-thumbnails related things.
 Turn them all of if the feature is not supported.
