The system identifier - eg case.dtd - is interpreted as a URI relative
to the URI of the containing entity (in this case, the XML file
itself).  So you should be able to say things like:

  <!DOCTYPE CASE SYSTEM "dtd/case.dtd">
  <!DOCTYPE CASE SYSTEM "../misc/case.dtd">

and perhaps

  <!DOCTYPE CASE SYSTEM "/home/allen/case.dtd">
