strange, pylint and its dependencies are registered into PyPI (though
I regularly forget this step, so the latest releases are probably not 
registered. We'll fix this asap). I wasn't aware of this easy_install 
ability, good to know :). BTW, this make me think: how do you specify 
dependencies in a setup.py file ? Distutils support that now ?

should-follow-distsig'ly yours' ;)

PS: pylint depends on logilab common AND astng package.
