This method creates the text for a type of navigation bar (like you see at
Yahoo!) which consists of hyperlinks to each of the parent objects of the
current object; for example:

           Home > Admin > Events > Christmas Party

The name "breadcrumbs" is an allusion to the story of Hansel and Gretel who
left a trail of breadcrumbs to help them find their way out of the dark
forest (or something like that).  Unfortunately, a flock of Catalog objects
came along and ate all the breadcrumbs.
