This is great! :)

I had to tweak it a little bit in order to make it work under xemacs in tty
mode, however. This is my setup, in case it helps others:

;hl-line seems to be only for emacs
(require 'highline)
(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook '(lambda () (highline-mode 1)))

;highline-mode does not work straightaway in tty mode.
;I use a black background
(custom-set-faces
  '(highline-face ((((type tty) (class color)) (:background "white" :foreground 
"black")))))
