Ah ha!  I was telling myself that there was such a feature in there
somplace, but then I couldn't find it.  Thank you!  I updated to webpage
to reflect it.

Interestingly, in one test case involving a detached catalog about 500K
in size, doing it this way produced a catalog a few KB larger than the
one produced via the piping method I originally documented.  Not an
issue for me, but I thought it was a bit odd though.
