FYI, if Org is insalled through the package manager there is no org-install.el. Package manager creates autoloads on it's own and names it org-autoloads.el.
I believe, for most part, org-install and org-autoloads have the same functionality. > Recent changes in my Makefile fork: > > org-version has been changed to always get the version information from > org-install.el.
