I just did a clean build and it went through -- a good start! I tried
enabling the new config with by setting NEWCONFIG = True in
__init__.py, and also enabled in setup.cfg
## Experimental config package support:
enthought.traits = True
configobj = True
I pulled my matplotlibrc file from ~/.matplotlib and dropped in a copy
of site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf into
~/.matplotlib, and then tried to run simple_plot.py with
--verbose-helpful. Here is the error I got:

I am attaching my setup.cfg as well as ~/.matplotlib/matplotlib.conf.
I haven't made any changes to the [text] section that I know of....
Note there is also the somewhat confusing line in the verbose output

Thoughts?
One other minor suggestion: you probably want to include the VERBOSE
setting from setup.py in the cfg file. One of the things we want to
get to here is to allow developers to tweak their local config w/o
risking compromising the svn repository. I am frequently guilty of
this: I may tweak some variable in setup.py to get the build I need,
and then forget to unset it when I commit. If everything in the build
is configurable from a file that doesn't live in svn, we won't have
this problem. In the same vein, if you can make setup.cfg handle the
NEWCONFIG setting, this would be ideal. I realize this is tricky
because at runtime you don't know which config file to read until you
have your config, so don't worry about it if it is too tricky. One
possibility while we are in development testing phase would be assume
NEWCONFIG if ~/.matplotlib/matplotlib.conf exists.
