Although they are integrated in the build system, they are examples.
Thus, someone may take of those files and use part of it to integrate
it into the own application. That's why I think it's a good idea that
they can be compiled out of tree.

This example has to compile out of the tree, including internal.h
is not required and using PACKAGE_VERSION here, which is internal
to the library, does not seem to me like a good idea.
why should it compile out of tree? Ideally it would be hooked into make check
and use GNU autotest (to match test output with expected results). In case we
want to have it as an example, I think we could move it into a/the
documentation folder and somehow include it in doxygen documentation?
Probably test is not a good name for the folder, we could rename it to
utils/ or examples/.
I can add some note in the documentation to tell about these examples.
I'll add these to my "to do" list.
