Got it working.

I did a Usenet search and someone mentioned having the Jade catalog file
in your SGML_CATALOG_FILES. I didn't have it in there. I only had
docbook and the Walsh style sheets. In fact openjade 1.3 has in its
Makefile:

$(TARGETS): FORCE
@$(MAKE) -f Makefile do=$@ $(dodirs)
@if test $@ = 'install'; then \
$(LIBTOOL) --finish $(libdir); \
mkdir -p $(datadir); \
cp -f dsssl/builtins.dsl $(datadir); \
fi;

This copies only the builtins.dsl file to /usr/local. I made a
/usr/local/sgml/jade directory, put _all_ the /dsssl file in it, added
it to my SGML_CATALOG_FILES, and it worked.

So obvious, I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. NOT! It is
software like this that give open source a bad name. :-)

Is there some trick I missed that would make the dsssl files visible
more automatically?
