What Features Do You Look For in a SDK?

MadCow42 queries: "I'm in the process of putting together a 'Developer's Kit' for 3rd-party developers to use while writing front-end applications that hook into our software (our software runs a digital printing system). I've included a complete XML command language specification for our system, sample XML input and output, and simulation software they can use during development. What else would a developer want? From your experience, what makes a truly 'great' development support package? What can I do to make developer's lives easier?"

Practical Code examples lots of 'em. Show a useful example of how to use every single function, and everyone of its options.
