  From inspection, amd, emul, ftpd, and supfiles have their
examples in /usr/src/share.  ipf has its examples in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/ipf/rules.  Apparently I chose the wrong
program (ipf) as a measure of precedence....

  Personally, I thought having the examples bundled with the
software (but in a subdirectory thereof) made more sense.  Same
with regression tests, but precedence is against me there.  No,
wait, ipf has a test/regress subdir!  :O

  Is there any doc that sanctifies one way or the other?
