skin changing

[Bert Van Kets <be...@apache.org>]

I did a "Forrest seed" and then ran Forrest.
Because I would like to implement my own skin and build my personal site 
with Forrest (what else :-)) I checked out how I could use a different skin.
Changing the properties in the forrest.properties file (uncommenting 
project.skin=avalon-tigris line) made no difference.
I had to erase the site directory to see the new skin being used.  I guess 
this is a cache problem.

If somebody can confirm this I'll adjust the docs.

I think Nicola did that, to meet someone's use-case.. I think it was so
people could add non-Forrest stuff in build/site (eg .htdocs files) and
not have it wiped by Forrest.  I'm sure the current system can be
refined.
