Buddypress Tags: bp_get_nav()

This tag uses the $bp->bp_nav global to fetch the navigation within a BuddyPress installation.

Each component adds to this navigation array within its own [component_name]_setup_nav() function.

This navigation array is the top level navigation, so it contains items such as:
[Blog, Profile, Messages, Groups, Friends].

The function will also analyze the current component the user is in, to determine whether
or not to highlight a particular navigation item.
