This is basically what we already do, minus the /etc part.  So we
could check some default global locations for a matplotlibrc if we
want to.  Currently we

  1. check for the ENV var

  2. check the current dir for a file called matplotlibrc and use it if there

  3. check $HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
