Finally there is something in the dowload section: the initial alpha release version 0.1 at https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=libeddml 

I believe this to be reasonably stable but of course it is an alpha release so please do expect there to be bugs.  Please do report any bugs you find.

One note since there is currently no documentaion beyond the command line help: there are two environment variables that control the behaviour of the command line tool and libeddml respectively.

ERRORPATH is a set of colon delimited paths that libeddml should use to (non-recursivley at the moment) find eddml xml documents.

ERRORSETS is a set of colon delimited errorset names (e.g. system:ldap) that the command line utility "etd" should use by default when searching for error code diagnostics.  If ERRORSETS is absent then all ERRORSETS are searched when no search argument is supplied on the command line.  This env variable is intended for use in systems where many eddml documents exist but individuial users are mostly interested in just a few.

So, ERRORPATH is a good candidate for system wide configuration because it tells libeddml where to find error documents, and ERRORSETS is probably better set by individual users to their preference.
