Ah! Hmm, it's a bit of a mess from a CSS perspective. It shouldn't be
too hard to replicate this with a table-less skin. To be honest, most of
the time building these things is usually spent working around the mess
that is IE :-|

All the info is in the skin itself. It's basically a two-column setup
with header and footer. So, start with a regular table-less version of
that model and add the PmWiki bits and pieces (e.g. <!--PageText-->, <!--
wiki:$SiteGroup.SideBar-->, and so on).

Yes, I should package it up and release it.
