Thanks - I will review as soon as I can get to it.

Well, I've done some more thinking on that topic!  Greg Troxel has a 
good comment about continuing to build all the example modules as part 
of normal 'build.sh release'.  In order to do that, and to get all the 
build goop right (Makefiles, Makefiles.inc, etc.) it will actually be 
easier to place them in the sys/modules/ hierarchy.  So, one might say 
that I've "had second thoughts."

I would now propose that we remove the existing sys/modules/example/ 
code and place the several new example modules as subdirectories of the
sys/modules/example/ directory.  Then the main sys/modules/Makefile can 
descend into modules/examples, and a new Makefile there can further 
descend into the multiple subdirectories.

I'll wait a few days (at least) before committing anything, to give the 
rest of the community an opportunity to respond.
