If you're controlling the RSS consumer, you can simply look at the
<link> with @rel=opac ... however, if you're not, then you'll need to
change the code.

And for this, you'll definitely need to change the code.

Both can be addressed in OpenILS/WWW/SuperCat.pm around line 1481.
First, swap the opac and alternate params to the $node->link calls on
1480 and 1481, and second, add a 'skin=foo' (with an appropriate value
for 'foo') to the second param on line 1481.
