It is, but in libxml2, since libxml2 is the piece of software that does
getenv("XML_CATALOG_FILES").
Now, what’s problematic, is that often users don’t install libxml2
itself but rather tools that happen to be linked against libxml2. This
is where the problem is: <https://bugs.gnu.org/22138>.

Dunno, we should just follow what upstream does I guess?
HTH,
