Well, one of the flaws of the cat dir/* > some_file schemes is
that the directory may well contain cruft -- from dpkg (*.dpkg-old,
*.dpkg-new, *.dpkg-dist), from the user making changes (*~), etc. It
would also be nice if one were able to make backup copies like
cp something something.bak (I know one could move it to another dir,
but then one has to remember where, and one can't see what else one
has saved).
I want to make the catalog file be constructed out of
/etc/sgml/catalog.d/*.cat files, and the new sgml-base will have a
script that does that.
