Comment:

 I worked through some more xml catalog fun (it's actually not that bad
 once you dive in) and ran a few test builds of the docs. It looks like
 it's now doing the xsltproc build very quickly for trunk. I'll wait a bit
 and check that this is showing up in hudson too before I close this.

 Note the because the xmlcatalog is based on the publicId and systemId URI
 strings, there is all kinds of room to break this (and just as much
 flexibility to fix it). While those string are supposedly "standard" there
 are all kinds of hacks included in the packaged xmlcatalog files to handle
 misuse and common synonyms. My fix just handles the specific URIs that are
 presently in use in the docs, and I have a feeling that someone will break
 this at some point in the future by copy/pasting some docbook xml from
 somewhere else. The good news is that I now might have a clue of how to
 fix it when it happens.
