Hi, everybody!

In the past week I was working on skins in xyzcmd.
I've completely changed skin files syntax - from custom to pure python.
New syntax is a bit more verbose but a way more flexible.

Also the related change is high-color mode support. Urwid version
0.9.9 introduced 88 and 256 colors mode and now it is possible to use
these colors for xyzcmd skins (of course if terminal supports them).
With old urwid versions new skins will work in default, 16-colors
mode. Also foreground attributes (such as bold, underline, etc) can be
defined in skins as well.

I'll create a new skin in few days and post it as example here.

Here we go. It's an example of skin using new high-colors mode. I'm
not an expert in creating beautiful color schemes, but this one looks
fine and shows how possible xyzcmd skins can look like from now on.

The new skins feature will be included in version 0.0.3.
