Can't make Skinr comments work

This is a workaround:
1. Use a plain comment-wrapper.tpl file instead of comment.tpl
2. insert class="<?php print ' '. $skinr; ?>" into the first div like this:

<div id="comments" class="<?php print ' '. $skinr; ?>">
  <?php print $content; ?>
</div>?>"

3. to write a style that targets every individual comment use the selector .comment:

.my-style .comment {
	background-color: #eee;
	padding: 8px;
}
