I've created this Featured Products infobox as a replacement for the New Products infobox. Includes admin page to add/delete featured products. It shows only featured products for the current category, or products from *all* categories when on the main default.php page. See lengthy README file inside archive file for more details, and installation instructions. No files get replaced, only small modifications done, so any cvs user should be safe.
