Hello!
I'm preparing a new port (net/udt), which installs a library with its
header file and a handful of sample applications.
The applications are rather generically named: sendfile, recvfile,

like that would be confusing.
I see two alternatives:

do this)

In your port dir, type:

I thought, EXAMPLESDIR is for actual examples, such as source code, not compiled
