== Simplified Breadcrumbs

A nice way to add breadcrumbs to your application. Antonio Cangiano 
posted a link in the Ruby on Rails weblog to a post which talked about 
adding breadcrumbs to your Rails application. I've been doing this with 
helpers, but as the post says this is "Easy and flexible". So I've 
created the plugin.

== Changes

Changed breadcrumb method to accept 3 options: <tt>:wrap_with_tag</tt>, 
<tt>:class</tt> and <tt>:separator</tt>.

* +:wrap_with_tag+ - An HTML tag to wrap each breadcrumb entry with (ie. li, p, etc.).
* +:class+ - An HTML class to give to the tag specified in the +:wrap_with_tag+ option.
* +:separator+ - Acts the same as the old breadcrumb method worked.

== Example

  ##
  # app/controllers/application.rb
  #
  class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

    add_breadcrumb 'Home', :root_path

  end

  ##
  # app/controllers/things_controller.rb
  #
  class ThingsController < ApplicationController

    add_breadcrumb 'Things', :things_path
    add_breadcrumb 'Create a new thing', '', :only => [:new, :create]
    add_breadcrumb 'Edit a thing', '', :only => [:edit, :update]

    def show
      @thing = Thing.find(params[:id])
      add_breadcrumb @thing.name, thing_path(@thing)
    end

  end

  ##
  # app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
  #
  <%= breadcrumb %>
  <%= breadcrumb(:separator => '=>') %>
  <%= breadcrumb(:wrap_with_tag => 'li') %>
