There is a name clash in the build area since automake and configure
together process Makefile.am ==> Makefile.in ==> Makefile. Furthermore,
all the standard examples for automake that I have seen use exactly the
same file name in the build and install areas. To avoid the name clash
you therefore need a subdirectory. I have implemented, tested, and committed
that. I agree it is much better to have Makefile in the installed examples
tree rather than Makefile.examples.

Done.
The above solution inspired me to sort out creating a build and install area
version of plplot_octave.oct (see recent commit) where again I had to deal
with two distinct files with the same name. The result is a solution with
no cross-talk between build and installed versions (an issue that is
important to me) and which I believe satisfies the plplot_octave.oct part of
Joao's 'make check' agenda. I have checked the results with ldd, and, as
expected, the correct library directories are there in each case with no
ambiguity.
I have also checked that the installed version of plplot_octave.oct works
fine. Joao, can we *please* just leave it at that for now with no more
'make check' related changes until after the release? I don't want to be
distracted any more from release issues at this critical time.
