[development] Drupal 6 beta 1 planned for next Monday

[Peter Wolanin]

Hi Gábor,

a minor thing, but some version of this patch should go in:

Menu system fix- setting the active path
http://drupal.org/node/148677

since right now menu_set_active_item() does nothing at all.  Or
alternately, that function should be removed completely.
