Usage: convert.lua old_conkyrc [new_conkyrc]

Tries to convert conkyrc from the old v1.x format to the new, lua-based format.

Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that the output will work correctly
with conky, or that it will be able to convert every conkyrc. However, it
should provide a good starting point.

Altough you can use this script with only 1 arg and let it overwrite the old
config, it's suggested to use 2 args so that the new config is written in a new
file (so that you have backup if something went wrong).

For more information about the new format, read the wiki page
<http://wiki.conky.be/index.php?title=conky2rc_format>
