I think a kind of smoke test with default files in the distribution could
be automated.

* Output all files matched by lenses transforms and their respective
packages in a given distribution
* Install the packages
* Run augtool and check for errors

It would highlight any errors a user would get at least with default config
files. Would it be a good idea for the next GSoC?

Cheers,
