[MOAB-dev] MOAB examples

[Timothy J. Tautges]

I'd like the 3 simple examples (GetEntities, SetsNTags, GetGeomHierarchy, or something like those names) to keep their own Makefile's and subdirs, since they're meant to be the simple read-this-first sort of examples.  The others can go into the same makefile if they're small.  I wonder if we should have a subdirectory there for 1-file examples, so those aren't all put up in the main examples directory?

Your proposal does seem cleaner.  Especially since they are each 1  
file and the makefiles are almost all alike.

Also we need to put in some example mesh files to the directory.  I  
was going to write a README file for the examples once they were done  
to indicate what each one does and how to invoke it.

Does anyone have some good input mesh files to use for the examples?
