New generic makefile to automatically test examples in /usr/share/doc/arduino-core/examples

Disregard, meant to reply to something else

I don't think the test suite should be included in any of the package distributions, that's not very common and it'll make maintaining the test suite a huge hassle if you're trying to get it to run on many different distros and setups. The intent is that it works on Travis, and it works on whatever the core maintainer's machines are (I have it tested in Arch Linux, and you want it in OS X, right?).

no i meant to test the built-in examples that come with the ide, not to include the test suite with the package.

its just an idea - rather than just testing our examples, can we test the arduino examples with a boilerplate makefile?

Gotcha, meant to post that as a reply to the other questions
