I think they do accept multi-level paths.  If they don't, I think 
we could make it so that they do.

But potentially another way to do things is to add another variable:

   $Skin = 'lens';
   $Theme = 'sample';

and then the skin.php file can use the $Theme variable to decide
what subdirectory of lens/ to use to pick and choose things from.
(If $Theme isn't set, the skin.php could choose a default.)
Inside of a skin template, one can do things like 
$SkinDirUrl/$Theme/whatever.css to get to theme-specific files for
the skin.

It's just a thought.  I'm not dead-set against having skins spread
themselves across multiple directories in pub/skins/, but I like
the idea of closely related things staying in one place.  And
I can envision an admin trying something like

   $Skin = 'lens-core';

and then wondering why things don't work as expected.
