Strictly speaking, you only need to run 

        augparse -I . tests/test_logrotate.aug

since the typechecker will also check lenses in included modules (like
logrotate.aug) 

Also, adding the option '--nostdinc' is highly recommended, since it
makes sure you _only_ use modules from directories mentioned with -I;
that's important when you remove modules. The option is not available in
0.3.1 though.

All in all though, sticking to the steps that Raphael outlined is highly
recommended.
