We just removed an example, makecat.redhat, which showed the call
to make a catalog on the commandline:

    bin/makecat -F \
		--cgibase=$CGIBASE \
		--basedir=$BASEDIR \
		--documentroot=$DOCROOT \
		--sharedir=$DOCROOT \
		--shareurl=/ \
		--interchangeuser=interch \
		--interchangegroup=interch \
		--serverconf=$SERVERCONF \
		--vendroot=$VENDROOT \
		--catroot=$BASEDIR/$i \
		--cgidir=$CGIDIR \
		--$RELOCATE \
		--servername=$HOST \
		--cgiurl=$CGIBASE/$i \
		--demotype=$i \
		--mailorderto=interch@$HOST \
		--catuser=interch \
		--permtype=user \
		--samplehtml=$DOCROOT/$i \
		--imagedir=$DOCROOT/$i/images \
		--imageurl=/$i/images \
		--linkmode=UNIX \
		--sampleurl=http://$HOST/$i \
		--catalogname=$i \
		company="your company"

The -F parameter says "don't ask me whether it is correct, just
do it". You can also put in the substitutions for the __MVC_*__
templating stuff as I did above with "company".
