Probably the latter, by putting ifdef's around the existing assignment.

I like to keep several stylesheet releases around, so I prefer the current
method of referring to the program via the stylesheet distribution's
top-level directory, because it makes it easier to switch everything by
changing a line in Makefile.custom. This is especially important because
there were critical bug fixes in collateindex in the latest stylesheet
release (1.74b, I think), so it's good to know which one you're using
exactly and you probably don't want to use the thing in /usr/bin anyway.
