*All* the components in the root sitemap? The intention of samples
refactoring was to move all the sample-specific stuff from the root sitemap
to the samples' to make the root sitemap as much simple as possible.

What about the 'myapp' directory for a quick start? I envision questions
like: "I placed my *.xml and *.xsl files in the root, but I get File not
found errors. What's wrong". Or 'myapp' can be concidered a sample?..
