setupCurrentSkin() is now optimized to ignore multiple calls within a
request.  We discovered it was a major performance hit for important
sites.  It was never really designed to allow you to change skins
mid-request anyway.  So the old access rules won't work.

changeSkin() is the new, official way to change skins mid-request.  Thank
