Thank you for the bug report! I have updated the development branch [1] with various changes to the documentation. There should not be any mention of the tests/demo subdirectory anymore, so I am going to close this. For the runnable hello,world libtool+automake example, I do not know of any, but the test directories output from tests/demo.at looks like it might be a good place to start for generating one.
