Syntax is:

>> [<connect_host>]<password> <recipient> <message>

The [] denote that connect_host is optional. Your JID is
demoletter2 at gmail.com (or whatever domain), not demoletter2. You don't
need to specify a connect_host for Google, so you have something like

./Swiften/Examples/SendMessage/SendMessage demoletter2 at gmail.com
mypass demoletter2 at gmail.com Hi

The examples aren't installed, they'll remain in ./Swiften/Examples.*

They should be built - they're just not part of Swiften so won't be installed.

Yes. See ClientOptions for the (documented) variables to set for this to happen.
