  Hum, the default loacation for the catalog on Windows is a bit unclear to
me, I'm in a position to make a serious recommendation (and back it up in code)
for Unix/Linux, but for Windows, I don't know. From what I can remember
from a decenny ago it seems to me that "C:\XML\CATALOG" might be a good
default, but I refuses to make such a decision.
Currently the place is
#ifndef XML_XML_DEFAULT_CATALOG
#define XML_XML_DEFAULT_CATALOG "file:///etc/xml/catalog"
#endif
independantly of the platform.
