set "examples" dir to read only

I noticed that while experimenting it's easy to overwrite the lovely demo sketches in the examples folder. This is partly due to the unusual change name behavior (I expected that a changed sketch name would be saved into a new file and not overwrite the original).
What I just did to avoid this accidental problem is to chmod (u-w) all the files and directories in directory "examples" so that I only have read-only permission.
Maybe this could be the default setting?

yup, this has been planned for 68, in fact it's what i'm in the middle of implementing. as you'll notice, you'll just get an error if you try to save over the sketch.
unfortunately i have a feeling the chmod may not be stored in zip files, so it's not a solution for windows (thoguh it'll mostly work for osx).
in 68, the examples will be just in the base folder of processing, and be considered a special/uneditable folder.. so when you try to make changes, it'll ask you to make a copy of the sketch in your own sketchbook [which has a new location in rev 68].

we've decided to add another release before what was supposed to be 68, so this change won't yet be in the release called '68' that's about to appear.
