I finally got around to adding optional category support to the 
articles/topitems block (it's already in articles/featureditems).  It is 
in changeset 1.426.  If you grab the latest modules bk you should be 
able to play with it.

Don't worry Mahmood, the default behavior is the same as it has been.  I 
like the way it works, too ;)

Actually, because I wanted to maintain the default behavior, the Admin 
UI might seem a little odd to people unaware of the legacy.  If you have 
an suggests for improvement in this regard (or in general), let me know.
