The two assignments remove PmWiki's defaults for $GroupHeaderFmt
and $GroupFooterFmt, and then wikiforms.php just adds its code
to that.

Here, the skin gets loaded *after* the wikiforms.php code.
So, the wikiforms.php code adds its stuff to the default
$GroupHeaderFmt and $GroupFooterFmt, and then the skin.php
file erases it all.

1.  Wikiforms.php needs to be loaded after the skin, or as part of
    the skin (after setting $GroupHeaderFmt, $GroupFooterFmt).

or

2.  Instead of clearing $GroupHeaderFmt and $GroupFooterFmt entirely,
    just get rid of the parts that you don't want:

    global $GroupHeaderFmt, $GroupFooterFmt;
    $GroupHeaderFmt = 
      preg_replace('/(:include \\{\\$Group\\}\\.GroupHeader.*?:\\)/', '',
                   $GroupHeaderFmt);
    $GroupFooterFmt = 
      preg_replace('/(:include \\{\\$Group\\}\\.GroupFooter.*?:\\)/', '',
                   $GroupFooterFmt);

Of course, this won't get rid of the GroupHeader/GroupFooter if the
admin or a recipe has changed it to something else, but arguably the
skin shouldn't be overriding an admin's preference anyway.  :-)
