Using user SublimeLinter.sublime-settings in addition to (or instead of) .jshintrc #88

I'm using ST in at least 4 different environments: Win, OSX, Ubuntu and portable from a USB stick. I'd like to have the same config files everywhere, including configs for jshint linter. The way jshint is looking for .jshintrc file isn't great as it's not looking beyond $HOME and I've moved all my configs to $Home/.config to avoid pollution. However, even if this weren't so, this still wouldn't be ideal as my USB portable ST wouldn't be able to see it.

Now, as far as I understand (also from https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-jshint/issues/8) it's not possible to use User's SublimeLinter.sublime-settings file to store settings (they're simply ignored since you moved to reading settings from .jshintrc), which makes my task of simple settings sync impossible.

Would you please allow to have all settings stored in the SublimeLinter.sublime-settings file in the ST user folder and prioritize these options over $HOME/.jshintrc?

Basically using this hierarchy from http://sublimelinter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/settings.html with an added $HOME/.jshintrc that should be below User settings (so that a portable ST wouldn't be overwritten by a host machine config file).

Inline overrides
Inline settings
.sublimelinterrc settings
Project settings
User settings
Default settings

P.S. Alternatively, is there a way to set a relative path (to the User settings folder, then at least I could put .jshintrc file there and link to it and this link would work regardless of the system I'm running ST on, portable or otherwise)?

Pr welcome, not something I will prioritize.
