When writing I thought that the warning was adequate. However as a missing
definition aborts compile, I see it is not adequate...

How should we handle that case? There is no intrinsic connection of either
some of the UARTs or a port pin to the OWI device. The board either has such
a connection or not. So to use some default UART or port pin to let the
example compile seems inadequate. But if the owibus example is not in the
app directory, chances are much lower that people detect the example. Any
ideas?

B.t.w. thanks for the style/licence/etc corrections. I will try to learn for
future contribytions.
