[wp-testers] Highlight current category...

[Stuart]

I think the plugin is a good idea for current users of Wordpress, but
it would be good to commit this into the code for future versions. I
tried Ryan's code but got errors so maybe I did something wrong. If
others can come up with a working solution then I will put it into the
Trac system.

Cheers - Stuart.

p.s. changed my Gmail preferences so my name should show up properly
in the from address.
