[Vimoutliner] highlight groups being cleared

[Jeremy Cantrell]

when i tried it with just the highlight definitions that i gave you,
it worked, so i tried to find in my config files what could be causing
it. i've been able to narrow it down to 1 line...

try this... before the highlight definitions add the following line:

colorscheme pablo

i would assume that other colorschemes would have the same effect.
pablo comes with vim (i think), but i've tried other schemes (inkpot,
wombat), and they had the same effect. commenting that line out seems
to correct it, but that really isn't a solution, for obvious reasons
:)

see what effect that has for you.
