Hopefully, this will address the problem of all the deprecated rc

working code tested across platforms and python versions settles this.
It is mostly working now, but Norbert brings up a good point that if
we now go to mostly empty rc files, it will become increasingly
unlikely that the template gets out of whack. If this is important to
someone and they can come up with a good implementation, I don't have
a problem with it.

As you saw, I boldly implemented that change already.

I already started working on this. Don't know when I find the time to
finish, but I will post patches for testing as soon as I have something
clean enough.
