I'm fixing this by renaming /mingw/bin/xmlcatalog.exe to
/mingw/bin/mingw32-xmlcatalog.exe and using /usr/bin/xmlcatalog.exe
instead. Since /usr/bin/xmlcatalog.exe is a MSys application, it does
not have path mangling problems.

For example, see my mingw32 package for libxml2 [1] and its msys
variant [2].
