Overall, we're just moving things where we see they should be.
Justifications for moving the skins/common/* stuff to their own places
is basically that "skins/common/" is a strange place for resources which
are used mostly by non-skin software and it fits more with the current
bits.wikimedia.org approach.
This sounds sensible to me. We should keep stuff that needs to be
web-accessible (entry points, static files) in separate directories
from stuff that doesn't (like skin PHP files).
