Having only those examples in the preferences for which the executables 
are installed as well would probably be not too complicated to 
implement. Would have to be decided at install time unless different 
installers are provided (which is reasonable for other reasons as you 
explained).

Oops, I thought the European law about patents on software had not yet 
passed. What a shame.

Really no high priority. But a more useful error report would be good as 
in many other situations. I will file a bug so it won't be forgotten, 
with low priority (low number=low priority?).
