You could use highline package that can be downloaded from:

   http://www.cpqd.com.br/~vinicius/emacs/

highline package was inspired on hl-line.el, highlight-current-line.el and
linemenu.el, it has global/local modes and several ways to highlight the
current line.

Unfortunately, highline is not (yet) part of GNU Emacs :-(
