This approach might also have an odd side effect due to the stripping
of the domain name from window.location: you might end up marking

solve the problem myself ;).
This is good stuff, Stephan. Thanks for sharing. I've done similar
contortions to change the color of the current-page's link.
One way to avoid marking external links as the current page would be
to begin with an if statement:
if (location.hostname == 'www.mysite.com') {
// your code here.
}
Also, instead of starting out with this:
var loc = ''+window.location; // Be SURE to force a copy, otherwise
you might be able to avoid the next line by using this:
var loc = location.pathname;
Just some thoughts...
