[csw-maintainers] Issues with openjade when compiling glib 1.3.15

I suspect the issue is deeper than that...in fact, I just confirmed
it.  I made a second directory nesting that required placing ../../ in
front of the input file.  The truss output now shows (on a failed
run):

open("/opt/csw/etc/sgml/../../catalog", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT

With a fully qualified input, I tried to open catalog from the fully
qualified directory of the input file.

It's using the prefix from the input file for some reason.  I'm not
100% positive that it's even a bug, simply because something _this_
silly should have shown up ages ago and been fixed.  That, and they do
provide a method to directly supply the catalog file path via the
environment.

If I have time, I'll see if this is a known or intended issue.  If
it's a known or unknown bug, I _might_ spend time fixing it, but not
necessarily.
