Subject: org-install.el in Emacs probably should be removed

Hi Carsten,
I just notice there is a dummy file in emacs/lisp/org. The use of this
file hides problems away for example if users install org to a dir that
is overshadowed by the lisp/org in emacs (this happen quite often to
newbies too). Two files with the same name but different content also
confuse other users.
I think for users using both standalone and included org versions, the
cleaner and better way is to use one of the following
(load "org-install" t) or (require 'org-install nil t)
in their own .emacs files if they want to avoid error (we can put this
in the documentation). But I guess some will prefer emacs to throw an
error when that org-install that does autoloads is missing.
Pointing out the install procedure is only for installing standalone org
package is also sufficient.
Thus I propose we do away with this dummy file and keep the emacs
distribution clean.
Best,
