A way of achieving this could be adding a hook that would be run when
pylint starts, in order to ease sys.path manipulation. Usage example:

pylint --init-hook='import pygtk; pygtk.require("2.6")' [other options] mymodule

We could also consider having a few shortcuts for some common cases,
such as --with-pygtk=2.6, if there is demand for this. 

Sylvain, what is your opinion on this?
