Here you go. You can either

Here you go. You can either run the code below directly or you can install the macroscript I've attached. You will find it in the "CG_Tools" category named "Current Layer From Selection".

It's a really simple script actually - it just checks the layer property of the currently selected object (if there is a selection) and sets the property "current" to True.

if selection[1] != undefined do --Verify there is an object selected
	selection[1].layer.current=TRUE --Make the currently selected object's layer the "current" layer
