It's OK. I learn a lot myself from trying to spot what goes wrong.

Remove the quotes around "catalog.xml" in the makefile. I verified this on
Cygwin. Hopefully it works in your environment, too.
BTW, I also found that the DocBook 4.3 DTD is missing at the URI
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd (4.2 is OK).
