I've read the guidelines and the catalog and fixed my software (which was using
file-system local dtds). Now one question is left for me. You've written that
libxml2 is searching by default under '/etc/xml/catalog' for thye presence of
the catalog. My software build on cygwin as well. Is there any recommendation
for a default place of the catalog. (I've grepped the source and found the
reference in catalog.c and xmllint.c).
