There's a

XORG_WITH_XMLTO(0.0.20)

in configure.ac, but with that version (without patches), I got

warning: failed to load external entity "XSLTPARAMS"
cannot parse XSLTPARAMS
Variable $SGML_CATALOG_FILES not set
warning: failed to load external entity "XSLTPARAMS"
cannot parse XSLTPARAMS

It worked with 0.0.23.
