[development] _preprocess_ issues

[John VanDyk]

Matt, take a look at the Note on page 182: "Variables are only  
aggregated and passed into themable items that are implemented as  
template files. Variables are not passed into themable items  
implemented as theme functions."

Thus, if you do not have a breadcrumb.tpl.php file in your theme, that  
is why it is not happening for you.

Also, the Note on page 181 warns: "Don't use Garland as the active  
theme..."

If you do use Garland, you'll have to comment out the  
phptemplate_breadcrumb() function in Garland's template.php, as it is  
taking precedence.
