 Portability is important for theme developers. With more and more
 developers using JS for enhanced functionality of their themes it's
 important to offer portable selectors for their use. Category ID's tend to
 change in the migration process, category names do not.

 While it's important to keep the class clutter low, I believe adding the
 slug of a category as a class to each option in wp_dropdown_categories
 would be very helpful for developers.

 I found this modification useful for a theme I was developing and offer
 this patch with hope that my solution may benefit other developers.
