[themes] Overriding menu_tree

[Larry Garfield]

Have a look here: http://drupal.org/node/138656

I was tackling a different issue there, but the structure for what you want is 
probably the same.  Be sure to see the descriptive text to explain what's 
going on.  Menu theming is a bit weird in that it jumps in and out of the 
theme system proper, but you can pull it all into the theme system that way.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
