or the best option, in the preamble:

\newif\ifpdf
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
\pdffalse % we are not running PDFLaTeX
\else
\pdfoutput=1 % we are running PDFLaTeX
\pdftrue
\fi

\ifpdf
\usepackage{pdfsync}
\else
\usepackage{srcltx}
\fi

And you get synchronization in both. It would be nice if the two  
systems merged and automated this selection internally.
