DOCBOOK-APPS: XML_CATALOG_FILES

[Bob Stayton <bobs at caldera dot com>]

I'm using XML catalogs with xsltproc with some success.  If
I set the env variable XML_CATALOG_FILES to the pathname of
an XML catalog file, it works very nicely.  Thanks!

But I interpret the "S" on the end of the env variable name
to mean plural.  When I try to put more than one catalog
file path in that variable (inside quotes), then xsltproc
(and the xmlcatalog utility) always interprets the whole
string as a single pathname, which fails.  I've tried using
a colon, semicolon, space, and linefeed as separators with
no luck.  Is it a bug, or is there some magical separator
that I can't guess?
