Installer for SketchUp on Linux systems using Wine. It should create a designated wineprefix, download and installs various prerequisistes such as wininet (based on winetricks implementation), the sketchup installer (from http://dl.trimble.com/sketchup/gsu8/FW-3-0-16846-EN.exe), and even a theme for wine (http://aerilius.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Light-Themes-12-10-327631977 - no option for themes as of yet)

Known bugs / required features
- set theme
- only does sketchup 8, no options
- won't work if wine is not in path
- wget exits with error if file already exists - could check with sha1sum first
- if sha1sum mismatch, offer to re-download the file (remove the file, run download command first)
To use it, use the following commands for a Linux system:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilfm/SkipI/master/skipi.sh
chmod +x skipi.sh
