Please do not do this. I am reluctant to again head down the path of 
exposing the internals of the rtems.git build system to users via 
examples. It says to our users they need to use this approach to 
building RTEMS applications and that is not the case. It also removes 
the need for us to make sure we correctly handle exporting the needed 
build data for a BSP. I like the current separation.

I prefer the examples are just that, an example of code to use and how 
to build an application with different build systems. I welcome support 
for other build systems being added to our examples. It just needs 
someone to maintain whatever is added.

The rtems_waf approach is based on the currently exported data and when 
a new build system is agreed on and merged it will be updated.
