Add Makefile rules to rebuild HTML man pages

Browse Source 
This should make sure that the online version of the man pages for
xmllint and xmlcatalog stay up to date. Also rebuild both HTML
documents.

<span class="command"><strong>xmlcatalog</strong></span> is a command line application allowing users to monitor and

Its functions can be invoked from a single command from the command line,

Add an entry to <code class="filename">CATALOGFILE</code>. <em class="replaceable"><code>TYPE</code></em>
indicates the type of entry. Possible types are: <span class="simplelist"><em class="parameter"><code>public</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>system</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>uri</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>rewriteSystem</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>rewriteURI</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>delegatePublic</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>delegateSystem</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>delegateURI</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>nextCatalog</code></em></span>. <em class="replaceable"><code>ORIG</code></em> is the original
reference to be replaced, and <em class="replaceable"><code>REPLACE</code></em>
is the <acronym class="acronym">URI</acronym> of the replacement entity to be
used. The <code class="option">--add</code> option will not overwrite
<code class="filename">CATALOGFILE</code>, outputting

If the <code class="option">--add</code> option is used following
the <code class="option">--sgml</code> option, only a single argument,
a <em class="replaceable"><code>FILENAME</code></em>, is used. This is used to add
the name of a catalog file to an <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym> supercatalog,
a file that contains references to other included <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym>
catalog files.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--create</code></span></dt><dd><p>

outputting to <code class="filename">stdout</code>,

Run a shell allowing interactive queries on catalog

Invoking <span class="command"><strong>xmlcatalog</strong></span> non-interactively without a designated action
(imposed with options like <code class="option">--add</code>) will result in a lookup
of the catalog entry for <em class="replaceable"><code>ENTITIES</code></em> in the
catalog denoted with <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>. The
corresponding entries will be output to the command line. This mode of
operation, together with <code class="option">--shell</code> mode and non-modifying
(i.e. without <code class="option">--noout</code>) direct actions, allows for
a special shortcut of the void <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>
specification (possibly expressed as "" in the shell
environment) appointing the default system catalog. That simplifies the
handling when its exact location is irrelevant but the respective built-in
still needs to be consulted.
