There's no reason why the "stitching file" *has* to be .css -- it can
be a .php file.  Just rename stitch_imported.css to stitch_imported.php,
change its first line (after <?php) to read:

    header('Content-type: text/css');

and then use the following in the skin.tmpl file:

    <style type='text/css'>
    <!--
    @import '$SkinDirUrl/css/stitch_imported.php';

No skin.php needed (for this).
