What's wrong with the XML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable? If you
can't set it in the shell configuration that your program will run in,
then your could read the location from a configuration file and use
setenv or putenv. This is what I have done, and I find it very flexible
as I have a number of programs which need to use different catalog
files.
