The fog/light functions need to be extracted and put into include_fog.*, and there needs to be a check in that one that switches between the different models based on the sky shader setting. There is an important issue though, the functions appear to be different for objects and terrain. That's not quite optimal IMHO, and will lead again to diverging fog models (what I've been trying to avoid by using a common fog function).
And just throwing them in and splattering all the other shaders with fog functions in them will triple the work required later. So it's better to do this right from the beggining.
