Description

The goal is to make sure someone can do the following:
```
cp -r /share/scr/examples
cd examples
make
```
The copy step is helpful in case SCR was installed to directory where the user can't write, like a system directory.

While at it, let's also install prebuilt binaries of test_api and friends so that people have a test app ready to go. In the case that users can write to the install directory, they can immediate run those. The cmake tests might satisfy this.
