Yes, I missed it, sorry. A quick test shows that this does NOT solve the 
problem on cygwin. I get ye olde error:

xslt-xsltproc 
../../../bin.v2/libs/xpressive/doc/gcc-4.3/debug/autodoc-xml.doxygen
/bin/sh: line 1: export: `XML_CATALOG_FILES': not a valid identifier
xslt-xsltproc 
../../../bin.v2/libs/xpressive/doc/gcc-4.3/debug/autodoc-xml.boostbook
/bin/sh: line 1: export: `XML_CATALOG_FILES': not a valid identifier

:-(
