Perhaps use XML Catalogs in the using example?

The command line example in the Using DB2LaTeX web page, indicates a
hardcoded file system path for the style sheet.  Hardcoded paths makes
it difficult to use the same makefiles on different systems.

I think it would be better if the example used a canonical HTTP URL
for the DB2LaTeX docbook.xsl file, and that it used XML Catalogs to
find the file in the local file system.

Bob Stayton's chapter on using XML Catalogs with the DocBook XSL style
sheets, has examples for usage with both Xalan and Saxon:
	http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/Catalogs.html

The Sun XML Catalog resolver used in the above examples, can be
downloaded from the Apache XML project:
	http://xml.apache.org/dist/commons/resolver-1.0.jar

Norm Walsh's thoughts on the reasoning behind XML Catalogs, are well
worth a read:

Thanx!
