Sigh.  Of course, making it exactly the same doesn't work well due to
the shading that we already use in the sidebar.  Since we know
everything in the sidebar is a link, I suggest something like this:

    a.sphinxsidebar a { border-bottom: none; }
    a.sphinxsidebar a:hover {
    	border-bottom: none;
        text-decoration: underline;
        text-underline-offset: 0.3em;
    }

That makes the sidebar relatively uncluttered, but still lights up the
links in a visible way when the pointer passes over them.

Thanks,
