Subclass SkinsTool.py, changing just the implementation of
getSkinByPath() (which you can find in SkinsContainer.py).  Instead of
using getattr(), use restrictedTraverse().  Be careful to retain the
ordering logic.  Register your new tool using the standard mechanisms
found in CMFDefault/__init__.py.
