Either that or we could make it a little more general and just have a
Makefile in Examples that is called during the dist build and that
builds a few selected examples and can copy them over into a new
directory in the temporary dist dirs. We could probably also add a
shortcut to the Windows menu into that dir.

Yes.

I don't know. I think the actual surface rendering code is not a big
issue (AFAIR), but the code that actually generates the models is out.
So there is no way to generate new models for it, which I thought was
not that interesting. Now as a demo that might not be the case, so we
could think about it if Akos and Michael are willing to part with the
code and we can find somebody to clan it up a little.

The problem with those is that they need multiple programs and a
cluster. That just makes them more effort than download and run

Whatever is easier to do for you. The advantage of having separate
programs is that it's easier for people to cut-n-paste. As a demo an
integrated program is probably better.
