Subject: DRb / Rinda Examples

Why is it that the DRb and Rinda samples are not included by default in 
the ruby-1.8.1 codebase, and only in the downloadable version of drb? 
At least that's where I assume they are.  Specifically:

sample

     README.rd
     cgi_drb.rb
     darray.rb
     darrayc.rb
     dbiff.rb
     dcdbiff.rb
     dchatc.rb
     dchats.rb
     dhasen.rb
     dhasenc.rb
     dlogc.rb
     dlogd.rb
     dqin.rb
     dqlib.rb
     dqout.rb
     dqueue.rb
     drbc.rb
     drbch.rb
     drbs-acl.rb
     drbs.rb
     extserv_test.rb
     holderc.rb
     holders.rb
     http.rb
     name.rb
     namec.rb
     rindac.rb
     rindas.rb
     speedc.rb
     speeds.rb


(from http://www.eng.dmu.ac.uk/~hgs/ruby/dRuby/)

I only ask because it seems like this would be useful in the samples 
dir, and, I notice we do already have the drb test cases which I assume 
due get updated.  I'm assuming the distribution of drb in ruby is more 
up to date then the one still available from the authors page.  It would 
seem this might be useful information on how to use drb and more 
specifically Rinda, so why doesn't it come in the samples directory.

As a related question, is there a good tutorial on how to use drb with 
ssl or not?
