Process variables for block.tpl.php
Prepare the values passed to the theme_block function to be passed into a pluggable template engine. Uses block properties to generate a series of template file suggestions. If none are found, the default block.tpl.php is used.
Most themes utilize their own copy of block.tpl.php. The default is located inside "modules/system/block.tpl.php". Look in there for the full list of variables.

Code
function template_preprocess_block(&$variables) {
static $block_counter = array();
// All blocks get an independent counter for each region.
if (!isset($block_counter[$variables['block']->region])) {
$block_counter[$variables['block']->region] = 1;
}
// Same with zebra striping.
$variables['block_zebra'] = $block_counter[$variables['block']->region] % 2 ? 'odd' : 'even';
$variables['block_id'] = $block_counter[$variables['block']->region]++;
$variables['template_files'][] = 'block-' . $variables['block']->region;
$variables['template_files'][] = 'block-' . $variables['block']->module;
$variables['template_files'][] = 'block-' . $variables['block']->module . '-' . $variables['block']->delta;
