May be a notion of context is needed here for augtool (or libaugeas):
- look for files in /etc in sysadmin context 
- look for files in ~/.* in user context
- look for files in . in application context 

If a lens is tied to a context, it can be used only for the roght set of 
files.

Now, the trick is to find the context. EUID can be used to find sysadmin 
context, bit I don't know how to distinguish between user and application 
context....

Thoughts ?
