I have created a simple extension to David Carlisle's colortbl.sty that provides a \cellcolor command. As the name suggests, it just colors the current cell. It is very similar to the \rowcolor command and is used and implemented in essentially the same way, except that it can be used at the beginning of any cell, not just the first in a row.
There are probably better (i.e., less redundant) ways to implement this, but it works. Please try it out to see if it breaks anything, and send bugs and suggestions to me.
The diff below is taken with respect to colortbl.sty version 1999/03/24 v0.1i.
