[TYPO3-english] Get current page ID in menu.

[Radoslav Kolarov]

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for you suggests. I found also that if you do not specify 
special.value the default value is current page. For the entryLevel - 
yes it is not needed. Thanks.
For menu code - I need this subpages menu in other place than main 
menu(where the subpages are also there with ajax code). So thats why I 
need this menu as separate lib.
