Or you can ask nicely on ipython-user, and we can help you migrate your old 
ipythonrc.

You can basically start with the ipython_config.py that is generated the first 
time and edit it. It is fully commented and demonstrates every configurable 
option with the defaults commented out. You just uncomment the appropriate lines 
and put in your values.

You are right that the HOWTO migrate documentation is missing. It's an oversight 
that you can help remedy.
