The Navigation Menus system is adding a lot of classes, including matching current page (rather intelligently, it will even try to detect custom URLs, that were input explicitly).
The simplest class to make use of is current-menu-item, but there are quite a few more dealing with parents/ancestors and more.
Codex has them documented at wp_nav_menu() > Menu Item CSS Classes.
