  No, that's not it either!  Cygcheck clearly shows that xmlcatalog.exe is
linked against the non-standard name:

dk AT espanola /bin> cygcheck xmlcatalog.exe
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\xmlcatalog.exe
C:/cygwin/bin/xmlcatalog.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygxml2-2.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygreadline6.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses-8.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll
dk AT espanola /bin>


  Look, xmlcatalog.exe doesn't require libxml2.dll at all!  Are you sure you
read the error message right?


    cheers,
