Not so good idea, because:
1. after the next upgrade of your LaTeX packages you lose these changes
2. you have to modify this script whenever you want to use another style for
a document.
3. You can't use makeindex (e.g. for LaTeX) anymore like you used to.
4. If there are any other users besides you on this machine who use
makeindex, they will go mad before they realize what has happend :-S
