Use local DTDs for validation instead of network

[Neil R. <ne...@oc...>]

You need to create a local catalog that maps the public IDs onto your local
system IDs (i.e., where the DTD files are already located on your
machine). For example, it could contain a line like this, assuming docbook.dtd
was in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dtd on your system:

PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.4//EN"
       "/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dtd/docbook.dtd"

Then, use the -c or --catalog option of onsgmls, or compile it with
--enable-default-catalog option of configure so that you do not need to
specify that option.
