Decided to just build everything by default and not have separate all or examples targets since we don't really have much control over what's a top-level target anyway (and ninja on its own == ninja all). Also set layout to flat by default, since it keeps everything together, which will lead to less surprising behavior on Windows and is more useful for our release packages.
