RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR was not meant to be a user-settable variable.  It
was originally for packages that have odd requirements for where their
example control scripts are stored, e.g. qmail.  It is intended to be
purely a package variable, as are all of the variables in
bsd.pkg.install.mk, though we have no good way to make that distinction
yet, as namespace issues haven't been completely resolved.

Please debate this on the tech-pkg instead of on netbsd-bugs.
