/opt/local/etc/xml/catalog missing - was Error xmlto port

Hi Adam and Mark,

Well, I've addressed the issue that Mark reported:

in revision 25899 [1].  However, re-reading Adam's output:

I realise that we have a different problem here; for some reason,  
catalog entries for the DocBook XSL stylesheets (rather than the  
DocBook XML DTDs) are not being found.  Adam, could I ask which  
version of the docbook-xsl port you have installed?  If you have a  
version earlier than the current one (1.72.0), then an upgrade should  
hopefully fix it.  If, however, you already have 1.72.0 installed,  
then it would help greatly if you could let me know whether or not  
the following files exist, and if they do, what their contents are:

/etc/xml/catalog
${prefix}/etc/xml/catalog

Thanks,
