It is possible to solve this, but it would require significant changes to 
PyLint:
- if the rcfile format changes, PyLint will have to include parser for the 
old format and a parser for the new format
- the rcfile would have to include a version number at the start, so 
PyLint knows which parser to use
- with "--generate-rcfile" the user can convert an old format rcfile to a 
new format one
