In my recent series of changes to our core and installed examples build systems which culminated in revision 10227, I have been consolidating the CMakeLists.txt_installed_examples* file logic for the installed examples with the corresponding CMakeLists.txt files for the core build. These changes should make it easier to maintain these files (e.g., lists of examples) going forward without introducing gratuitous differences between the core build of the examples and the install build of the examples. Also, these changes make it very clear when there is some important difference between the two sets of builds of the examples (controlled by the CORE_BUILD CMake variable).
I still need to consolidate the examples/CMakeLists.txt_installed_examples CMake logic into examples/CMakeLists.txt. Once that is done, then the test_noninteractive and test_interactive targets that work so well in the installed example tree will then be available for the build tree. This will be an important core build system improvement since the former target does the equivalent of ctest (only much faster on multi-core machines on software platforms like Linux where parallel make options are available), and the latter allows testing of our interactive devices and examples to make sure there are no regressions being introduced for them.
