Sounds good.  The issue at the time was with xmlto older
than ~ 0.20.  It was known that 0.18 didn't work, which
affected both openSUSE 11.2 and CentOS 5, as reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/m2hbs85koj.fsf@igel.home/ and
the following messages).

I wish I'd have included the details on which xmlto versions
were affected in the commit message.  The project was
managed in SVN at the time and I can't (easily) find the
source older than it's import to git around 0.21.

Not that it's important.  It was already rather old versions
of xmlto which were affected -- in 2009.

Thanks,
