So don't change it again.  Anyway we are hardcoding share/examples/
in lots of packages.

What I don't want is a tunable variable. People will get confused
by doing so, as they may try to set RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR=/etc/rc.d
(or any other absolute path), which will break, as absolute paths are
not supported in PLIST's.  Then, they will complain. And they will be
bypassing the wonderful PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS framework ;). But, as said
above, I want the default changed.
