Why?

It was quite difficult for me to convince the mainstream developers to
support changing the default catalog files on an out-of-the-box build,
without having to patch the sources.  But at last I got it:

	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104475

The less patches we have to maintain, the better;  and that was my
original intention.

So... this should be reverted.  If there is a real problem in how it
works (and is not our fault), a bug should be filled against libxml2.

Thanks,
