Patches for Catalog.java and FileURL.java

While working with xml-commons-resolver, I discovered that the code
does not handle pathnames that utilize window's driver letters. The code
appears to lose the "absoluteness" of the path, causing resolution of
other entities/files to fail that have it for a base.

Attached are patches to Catalog.java and FileURL.java that
handles Windows drive-letter pathnames.
