unify forks about cpplint HOT 3 OPEN

Hi Thibault,

I've made a few modifications, but I didn't pull any updates from the "official" repository at Google Code since 2011, which probably means that my version is too old to be useful.

I'll see if I can push my changes directly to the official version - it might take some time and I'm not sure they'll be accepted, but it's worth trying and it would save a some patching and merging.

Re maintaining the version on pypi - I've never maintained a project like this so I'm not sure how much work/responsibility that means. But if it takes just a couple of minutes per release, I might be able to do it.

hah, same as me, but it was only 3 commits since 2012. I also asked the last committer whether google cannot just mantain this on github, since by now I found at least 3 other forks. Putting stuff on Pypi is no big deal, but you need an account, password, etc. I have not done anything for this the last 2 years, so it's not that much responsibility, or I am not a responsible person :-)
Let's wait if the last commiter answers

In any case I updated my fork, and added a README.md with maintenance instructions. some git skills would be required.

Also I submitted most of my patches to the google styleguide issue tracker:

If you submit your changes there, maybe they'll get accepted. However I think they added a feature similar to the one you added.
