Try 2. This time, include a short preface as a "general
introduction", also add code blocks around all code samples
so they get compiled. We still need a way to tell readers
the filename of the code sample. In some cases, don't show
all code in the documentation, but do include it in the generated
code. This allows for focussing on specific bits in the docs,
while still having a full test application available.
* examples/manual/Makefile.am:
Fix up examples for new ADM. Add several of the new examples that
were either added or were missing from the build system.
* examples/manual/extract.pl:
Allow nameless blocks.
