Title: Make theme usable on low coloured displays

Hello,

here are few changes that might be worth considering. Commits are
in ascending order of "disruption":

- add face for hl-sexp mode, might be very visually annoying if not
set properly

- make theme not throw error of missing variable
custom-theme-load-path when loaded in GNU Emacs 23, yes it's
actually useful there (and there are some long term support
GNU/Linux distros that still don't offer version 24)

- make theme usable in low colour displays

About the last one, making a theme work well on such displays is
tricky as such terminals might have all sorts of
few-colour-combinations as far as I have encountered. However, I
think having some sort of faces is better than nothing. And I
actually checked that things seem OK on one such terminal that I have
access to.
