Enable by adding to conf.py::

    sys.path.append('path/to/this/file')
    extensions.append('examples')

    # Root path for examples documentation, relative to conf.py.
    # If your source code is laid out like:
    #
    # - BASE/
    #   - doc/
    #     - source/
    #       - conf.py
    #   - my_module/
    #     - __init__.py
    #     - doc.rst
    #
    # …then examples_source should be like:

    examples_source = '../../my_module'

    # Destination path for copied files, relative to conf.py.
    # For instance, the following:

    examples_dest = 'generated'

    # …results in files being copied to 'BASE/doc/source/generated'

find_examples_docs() performs two replacements:

1. A file like my_module/submodule/doc.rst is copied to
   my_module/submodule.rst.
2. A file like my_module/submodule/doc/index.rst is copied to
   my_module/submodule.rst

All other paths are not modified.

'Crude' means:
- Old files in the examples_dest directory are not removed automatically.
- It's not tested; bad config values will cause strange behaviour.
