I still disagree.  It's placed under doc/, and further in contrib/.
It's a widely held convention in my experience that things in contrib
are not expected to run without fiddling.

If it were outside of doc/, I'd agree with you.  Had Rupert copied a
few of the example scripts from contrib into a normal program
directory then yes, it should be fixed.  As it is though, I think the
location should allow for non-function.

That being said, it wouldn't be bad to put extra work into making them
viable with less fiddling.  I'm simply arguing that it shouldn't be a
must item in this case.

Thanks
