Tell them to change OS ;-)

First the current situation
pmwiki
|-- local
| `-- skins
| `-- $PageSkin.php
`-- pub
`-- css
|-- pmwiki.css
|-- print.css
|-- stdlayout.css
|-- $PageSkin.css
|-- local.css
|-- $Group.css
`-- $Group.$Title_.css
And your suggestion:
pmwiki
|-- local
| `-- skins
| `-- $PageSkin.php
`-- pub
`-- css
|-- skins
| |-- pmwiki.css
| |-- $PageSkin.css
| `-- print.css
|-- stdlayout.css
|-- local.css
|-- $Group.css
`-- $Group.$Title_.css
Here's a structured suggestion with a deeper directory structure.
pmwiki
|-- local
| |-- ...
| `-- skins
| `-- $PageSkin.php
`-- pub
`-- css
|-- pmwiki # Files from distribution
| |-- pmwiki.css # which may be overwritten
| |-- local.css # when the user updates his
| |-- print.css # pmwiki-installation
| `-- stdlayout.css
|-- wiki.d # Group/page-specific files
| |-- $Group.css
| `-- $Group.$Title_.css
|-- skins # User skin
|-- $PageSkin.css
`-- $PageSkin.gif
A variation on this is to keep separate directories for each skin.
Finally, a completely different solution where everything is kept in one
directory, but the name convention is changed (only in Windows?):
pmwiki
|-- local
| `-- skins
| `-- $PageSkin.php
`-- pub
`-- css
|-- _stdlayout.css
|-- _local.css
|-- _$PageSkin.css
|-- _pmwiki.css
|-- _print.css
|-- $Group.$Title_.css
`-- $Group.css
