Well, given how extremely useful skins seem as a concept (rather than just in
their CMF context), along with Transparent Folders I'd love to help out here or
vote for this in any way I can. It's been a while (2 years :-S) since I last did
any C stuff and I've never done any with python so it could be a fun learning
experience... ;-)

BTW, would the stuff being talked about here allow CMF skins to come from
locations other than the portal_skins tool? I know I've managed to solve my
sharing-skin-layers-between-portal-instances problem but I aslo know that sooner
or later, I'm going to hear "but I don't want to edit that skin on the file
system" (especially if the server is in production mode) or, similarly, "I need
to edit that skin TTW from another continent"

cheers,

Chris
