This wasn't very smart at all.
1) You don't need named.conf to be in src/share/examples/ to have it
installed in share/examples!
2) By removing the file from the named dir, you make it hard to
maintain the file via future imports!
Please undo this. If you want the file installed in examples/ instead
of /etc/namedb (where it probably belongs) that's discussable, but
this way of doing it is just plain wrong.
