[O] Skim.app support for org-mac-link-grabber.el

Hi, all!

I use org-mac-link-grabber.el 
<http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-mac-link-grabber.html> almost every 
day. However, it lacks support for an app that I'd like to use together with 
org-mode. 

Skim.app is a light and fast PDF reader for Mac OS X with a note-taking 
ability. I wrote a little patch for org-mac-link-grabber.el to support grabbing 
links to documents.

What it does:

* Grabs not just the link to file, but a page

* Inserts the selected text as a description, if present. Otherwise
  inserts "<filename>, p. <page #>"

* The shortcut is set to [S]

* Defines a new "skim" link type

It would be interesting to also add some support for importing notes from Skim 
to org.

Since Skim.app is not present in clean OS X installs, by default support for 
grabbing links from it is disabled. You can enable it by customizing group 
`org-mac-link-grabber'.

So, maybe it's possible to get this patch into the tree? It's my first time 
hacking on org (or even any major elisp extension), so it's probably that I've 
messed up somewhere with a commit format or whatnot.

Cheers.
