Do you think it's worth defining this as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %libxml2-search-paths
  (list …))

;; libxslt happens to share the same search-paths with libxml2.
(define %libxslt-search-paths %libxml2-search-paths)

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That is, we add an alias for libxslt since it happens to coincide
with libxml2 in the regard that both also make use of
SGML_CATALOG_PATHS?

Furthermore, I consider that nonfree software must be eradicated.
