xml catalogs xerces, saxon, and olinking (target database is picked up as relative to docbook-xsl)

["Chris Chiasson" <chris@chiasson.name>]

target.xml is the the name of my olink target.database.document. I
have an XML catalog that is found via CatalogManager.properties using
xerces + the commons resolver. I don't know if this is relevant, but
the path to CatalogManager.properties is specified in URL form (I
don't know any other way to do it on windows):

catalogs=file:///C:/Program%20Files/docbook-xsl/docbook-xsl-1.71.0/catalog.xml

Anyway, with a verbosity level of 99, I can see:

     [java] Stripping NS from DocBook 5/NG document.
     [java] Processing stripped document.
     [java] Writing target.db for book(Engineering_Optimization)

     [java] Olink error: could not open target database 'target.xml'.
     [java] Error: unresolved olink: targetdoc/targetptr = 'self/HW1_Appendix'.

I guess the stylesheet calls for target.xml and the catalog says, no
problem, that's right next to you - here's the URL. How does one make
it use the target database catalog in the folder next to my xml files
instead of next to the docbook stylesheets. xsltproc didn't have this
problem, but I ran into more weird xsltproc db5 incompatabilities and
decided to drop it.
