Basically, what happens is as follows: In a cleanly installed tree,
COMPILE_EXAMPLES is set to 'no'. Do a 'make help' and read the output
closely. It contains several erroneous statements concerning the examples,
such as "examples will be built" (they won't, of course) and also states
that examples will be installed into the docs directory.

I've already taken a look at the shell script. The reason the directory is
wrong is that INST_EXAMPLES isn't defined, and help.sh consequently parses
its command line arguments incorrectly. I'm rusty with shell scripts, but
I'll tinker with it as time allows.
