It's a basic mod based on the documentation on how to create your own
skin based on MonoBook.  The majority of the changes are in the
main.css.  There are a few minor changes in the php... I will have to
look at it again to see exactly what (it's been a while)

That's what I thought, but when I saw that the ToolBox wasn't showing
the right things... I added the pre 1.14 code to get it working....
which kind of worked, but not as expected (ie not as it was in
MonoBook).

First, you've given me some ideas that I will check on first -
primarily, the base MonoBook code that we built the OOoSkin on is
really old... I think 1.11 or maybe even older.  I'm going to look at
updating the base code (basically re-modifying the latest MonoBook.php
code), and see if that helps - I'm betting it will.
