Until now I only set SGML_CATALOG_FILES, but that should work too; the
xsltproc manpage says:

       ‐‐catalogs
              Use  the SGML catalog specified in SGML_CATALOG_FILES to
              resolve the location of external entities. By default,
              xsltproc  looks for  the  catalog specified in
              XML_CATALOG_FILES. If that is not specified, it uses
              /etc/xml/catalog.

Honestly, I don't exactly understand what that's supposed to mean.
