* Use wp_add_dashboard_widget() rather than add_meta_box().
* Use original functions like wp_dashboard_primary(), wp_dashboard_right_now(), wp_dashboard_quick_press() (where possible).
* Only include plugins section of the news widget when appropriate, which necessitates the set_current_screen() via the ajax action.
* Remove some debug cruft that was preventing caching and invalidation.
* Simplify lots of things where possible.
