>    * Check to see if this Skin has been marked dirty. 
>    * The only way to mark a Skin dirty is to call setDirty(true).
>    * @return true if the Skin is marked dirty.

>    * Sets the dirty flag of the Skin. Use this if you want to regenerate the skin.

>    * the skin's css file will be reprocessed regardless of whether the css file has been modified 
>    * or if the CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION flag was set. 
>    * The Skinning Framework calls setDirty(false) after the skin has been reprocessed.
