Thanks, this works and now I can see org-install.el. Since org-install.el is
generated,
I think it's best if I don't change it but make sure that the autoload
comments are
picked up from org-latex-outline.el.

I'll move the patches to contrib/lisp and make the updates.

If the outline proves useful, then integrating it with org-latex.el would be
much better.
It consists of a copy-and-paste job of the functions
(org-export-as-latex and org-export-latex-make-header) in org-latex.el. It
adds the
\end{outline} to org-export-as-latex and \begin{outline}[enumerate]
to org-export-latex-make-header while removing the table of contents.

It was the easiest thing that worked at the time but not the cleanest.
