* Move the Example modules to the newly created examples subdirectory

* Hopefully correctly fudge the NWGNU make files
* Add mod_example_ipc (without NWGNU stuff or dsp)

+ *  mod_example_ipc -- Apache sample module 
+ * 
+ * This module illustrates the use in an Apache 2.x module of the Interprocess
+ * Communications routines that come with APR. It is example code, and not meant 
+ * to be used in a production server. 
+ *
+ * To play with this sample module first compile it into a DSO file and install
+ * it into Apache's modules directory by running:
+ *
+ *    $ /path/to/apache2/bin/apxs -c -i mod_example_ipc.c
+ *
+ * Then activate it in Apache's httpd.conf file for instance for the URL
+ * /example_ipc in as follows:
+ *
+ *    #   httpd.conf
+ *    LoadModule example_ipc_module modules/mod_example_ipc.so
+ *    <Location /example_ipc>
+ *    SetHandler example_ipc
+ *    </Location>
+ *
+ * Then restart Apache via
+ *
+ *    $ /path/to/apache2/bin/apachectl restart
+ *
+ * The module allocates a counter in shared memory, which is incremented by the
+ * request handler under a mutex. After installation, activate the handler by
+ * hitting the URL configured above with ab at various concurrency levels to see
+ * how mutex contention affects server performance.
