For one you can just look in plone/portal_skins to see how things happen.

There's some info on skinning here:

http://cmf.zope.org/Members/beehive/ZWACKChap5.html

The Plone Book has some info on skinning:

http://plone.org/documentation/book/6

There's a bit in the Dogbowl:

http://cmf.zope.org/doc/devel/writing_skins/view
http://cmf.zope.org/Members/teyc/docSkins/view

Here's a repackaging of FSDV for use outside of CMF, which might have 
some docs:

And you can always look at the source to figure out how things work. 
PasswordResetTool is pretty simple, but has hooks into all sorts of 
functionality, like installing skins from the Filesystem (which you can 
also do from the ZMI):
