Thanks for trying out org-odt and sharing your feedback.

It's a fork of the master. It may lag behind the master depending on my
whims and fancies.

LaTeX related lines are required only if there are LaTeX fragments (like
equations) which need to be embedded in to the resulting odt file. I
have included these lines only because the test.org file that I use for
testing has embedded LaTeX fragments.
As you noted above, setup.el changes the load-path and has pointers to
default styles file used for export.

FYI, many of the user-defined styles used by the exporter have `org'
prefix.
Updating styles file either from a sample .odt file or .ott files is
something in my list. Till such time as I add support for this feature
one can use the following workaround:
1. customize the different styles in exported file and save it.
2. unzip the resulting odt file (Note: odt files are just .zip files)
and extract styles.xml file from the same.
3. Customize the variable org-export-odt-styles-file to point to the
above styles file.
The above procedure should work though I haven't tried this myself.
For the sake of record, many folks using `older version of emacs' have
reported `delete-directory' related crashes while trying my exporter. I
have pushed a fix for this a few minutes ago.
