The SkinnedFolder class is designed to be a basis for creating your own
"custom" folderish content types.  PortalFolders are designed to be
"skeleton" of the site.  It would be feasible to delete the default
"Folder" type, and replace it with another type information object based
on SkinnedFolder, if that suited your site's needs.
