As stated in
d68a27fd79 , "Compiling the examples is useful for testing and development, but less useful for actual users of wlroots."

Appending '-D examples=false' to the meson setup command would avoid wasted CPU cycles, as the example applications are only written to the pkgmk work directory, not installed to $PKG.

Disabling examples would also prevent build failures in case the user has a broken ffmpeg (either not yet discovered by revdep, or left uncorrected because ffmpeg was not listed as an optional dependency of wlroots).
