I have discovered the cause of my problem with getting
"build docs" to work properly with the entity resolver.
Remember that it fails for me (but is OK for others) with
"Failed to create InputSource: file://usr/local/.......", and we
supsect the // to be a problem. I also noticed a strange
pathname for loading the catalog file with a "./" in the middle
of it. So i supected a bad path for the "contextDir" argument.

Sure enough, if i hard-code the full pathname into build.xml
-  <arg value="-c."/>
+  <arg value="-c/usr/local/cvs/xml-cocoon2/build/cocoon/documentation"/>
then the "build docs" works properly, and i finally see the
"catalog-test.html" with the ISOnum entity set being
resolved using the catalog. Hooray ... but why?
