Dave, it seems that one of my tests was not complete :-(

This is the mapping. The drives are known as /cygdrive/c,
/cygdrive/a, /cygdrive/c... /cygdrive/z

No, but I have made my test anew after copying the builtins.dsl in
<cygwinInstallDirectory>/usr/local/share
and it works; I am ashamed, because I am sure I did the test yesterday
but I probably screwed up with my error files and I did not see that it
was a possible fix.

So, I have a workaround (You know what? I am happy!) and we can then use
only one version under Windows,

There is always a little problem: OJ is not able to correctly use the
entry for builtins.dsl in the catalog file, but that is not really important.
And our friends at openjade users will probably have an idea concerning
this.
I noticed that, under Unix/Linux, OJ has a modified behaviour
once you have installed docbook; you have then to fiddle with environment
variables.
There is maybe the same thing under cygwin, the code being probably very similar
to Unix code, if it is not exactly the same.

Thanks a lot Dave, you have made me doubt, and you were right ;-) a
