[PATCH 1/1] configure: add an option to compile the examples

[Dario Binacchi <dariobin@libero.it>]

Using a configure option to compile the examples is a more common
practice. This can also increase library usage (e.g. buildroot would
now be able to install such applications on the created rootfs).
