And indeed it was.  Installing the various docbook-xml* packages let me
build off the net without hacking xmlto.  Thanks.  I could've sworn I took
care of it back in October, but looks like it slipped through the cracks.

There might still be utility in controlling whether or not the build is
network-aware via xmlto parameters (at the moment, there is no way to turn
off the --nonet option).  I should submit a feature request at some point.

Did you happen to take a look at the FAQ rewording I proposed
(<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2006-q1/msg00016.html>)?  Was
cygwin-patches the correct list for it, or should it have been sent here?
