Direct admin operation from the block

Hi,
I have been using this block since Drupal 4.7. However, I modified the Drupal 4.7 version so that:

1. The items can be selected using check box and can be published/deleted.
2. I can use workspace state transition in it for node publication

I ported my version of adminblock to Drupal 6, after I upgraded my site to Drupal 6.20. However, the Drupal 6 version is still a bit incomplete. The deletion operation does not asks about deletion, just does the delete.

I am posting both of the versions here. I think the community can be benefited from work. Let me know if anyone is interested. I can cleanup a bit and post if needed.
