Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in doc/examples and read the linked GitLab merge request discussion for the context from !776. Add an example showing a build directory outside its source directory, using multiple elements and covering the CMake or autotools cases described. Done means the example is present in doc/examples and demonstrates the requested layout.
