This is a blocker for gst-python bug #549879

We need a way to postpone the GOption argument parsing when initializing
GStreamer. GTK seems to allow this.

Basically the following scenario should work:
gst_init(NULL, NULL, &gerr); <== no argument parsing, but does initialize
gstreamer, types, etc...
<allow user to parse his stuff>
gst_init(&argc, &argv, &gerr); <== argument parsing, but no need to initialize
the types, etc...
