Suppose I would like to create a multi-screen contribution page, instead of the standard form-verify-pay model. How would I have to go about that ?

I'm afraid civicrm forms aren't that flexible at the moment. If you really wanted complete control over it you'd have to do it yourself (code the form, validate it, interact with paypal api yourself, and push the data into civi via the api).
Most organizations on a budget choose to make due with the out-of-the-box contribute form, as it's usually at least 90% what they want.

Thanks for the reply -- I was thinking to either (a) build a more flexible workflow outside of civi and 'jump' (post) into the target of the first page's form, which would make the 'back' button concept a main, or (b) manipulating the first page's form to render it in parts, storing it into the session etc ...

In both cases, it'll be a nice challenge, and we'll launch with the standard one.
