The emacs-bundled org-mode org-install.el is empty (if it is
there). It's purpose is to provide an easy way to hook it with emacs.

Can't answer that, but it would be strange if it shipped before.

Because of the autoload problems mentioned in another thread I built an
elisp file to have something to play with.

Put it in the base folder and run it with `emacs -Q -l gen-autoloads.el'
or directly via emacs, but make sure that you are in the base-folder.
