Answer should be contained in mailing list archive or gEDA wiki.

For outline: Use an unused layer (not in the component or solder layer
group), name it outline and draw a frame with lines. 10mil thickness was
suggested in this list long time ago (when I asked a similar question)
but I think thickness is not too important. For testing if its works: Do
gerber export and view gerbers with gerbv.
