If you are going to include style sheet files for e/a theme or for the 
themes that need them, then it would be better to just have those themes 
somewhere else inside the theme's own directory.
say "/" is the root for the PHPslash installation
/styles <--- styles for site
/tempates/en/basic
/tempates/en/basicurves
/templates/en/basicurves/styles.css <--- would be a nice way to do it

in other words, the file will always be found inside the directory for a 
given skin, or the skin.ini file can point to that file with a variable.

I just think that it's easier to just drop a skin directory inside the 
/templates/$LANG of choice without having to worry about putting other files 
somewhere in the site.
