[Serna] Installing a new DITA-OT (say 1.4.1) and configuring Serna

I have a separate installation of DITA-OT 1.4 which I have customised with
various add-ons and plug-ins, e.g. WinANT Ant runner that saves job parameters,
Mekon FrameMaker adapter, Idiom FO processor, Saxon parser, etc.

I searched for "dita-ot1*"in the Serna installation files and got a number of
hits.  However, I am nervous about changing the path to C:\DITA-OT just in case
there are some Serna-specific modifications in the DITA-OT1.3.1 folder.

Can you tell us what to do to point Serna to another DITA-OT installation and
perhaps consider making it easier to configure future releases to use a
different DITA-OT?

Regards,
Hedley
