This is a fine idea. It would be good to provide a set of examples for
users to follow to use their preferred build system to compile
applications that link to RTEMS. I liked examples-v2 because it offers
a variety of application requirements, and a new repo with some
examples that show different build requirements (e.g. binary blobs,
file systems) makes sense.
