  Well it implements both,

  Well I don't know what file:///etc/xml/catalog means on Windows ...
possibly \etc\xml\catalog i.e. on the same drive as the current one.
  The code of the catalog is actually libxml related not libxslt specific.
Igor, the Windows port maintainer, can probably enligthen us about what should
be the proper path and the associated URL.

  Well you can try to guess the valid filename or URL which will work
and set them as environment variables SGML_CATALOG_FILES or XML_CATALOG_FILES
The routine will end up using open() to load the file.

  You can set the XML_DEBUG_CATALOG environment variable to get some
information from the catalog processing layer to understand what's happening.
