[support] Using <front> for Path in a menu link

[Jamie Holly]

Just using CSS.  Why sit there and waste very valuable server resources 
to do something server side, when it is so easily handled in client side 
via things like CSS? The only time things like changing colors on 
elements should require anything server side is when the underlying CSS 
doesn't have the necessary selectors to achieve the outcome.
