It is.  How does one acquire the group name, then?  (Will it be the
same for config.php and skin.php?) The following doesn't seem to work.

    $pagename = ResolvePageName($pagename);
    $group = PageVar($pagename, '{$Group}');

Out of curiosity, why isn't ResolvePageName()'s job already done ahead
of config.php in the cascade?
