[Vimoutliner] It's not easy seeing green

Hmm, I put 
"Body Text Colors
hi BT1 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT2 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT3 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT4 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT5 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT6 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT7 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT8 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen
hi BT9 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=darkgreen

first in /etc/vim/vimoutlinerrc and then in 
~/.vimoutlinerrc (it was ctermfg=green before I made the changes),
exiting and reentering vim each time.  It made no difference in the
color of the body text.  However, when I :source'd the file from inside
the edit window for the outline, it did work.

/etc/vim/vimoutlinerrc is disabled on Debian according to the release
notes, but I thought the fact that every line was commented out was a
reflection of that.  Maybe it's not parsed at all.
(In other words, that file originally had
"hi BT1 guifg=darkgreen		ctermfg=green
and so on.)
