Um, you don't. Otherwise there would have been no reason to write the 
find_edges filter.
POV doesn't know about "edges", only about intersections between lines 
and surfaces, so it can't "draw an outline". You may have some success 
texturing everything with the slope filter with the slope direction 
facing the camera. This is not perfect, the find_edges filter uses 
several different methods combined, but it will do something.
