I don't see what the point of the xmlcatalog in its current incarnation
is. It should either take a config parameter like building the
documentation does as a path to the dtds or it should package them with
it. As it stands the user would have to download the files and put them
in this special doc directory. If that is the expected case we should
just package them ourselves as I've recommended elsewhere.
