1. A wind turbine comprising: a rotatable drive train including at least one bearing,a gearbox, anda pump for supply of a lubricant to the bearing and/or the gearbox,the wind turbine further comprising a controller for performing control of the pump to provide an amount of lubricant which varies depending on an actual state of operation, wherein the controller performs closed loop control, andwherein the gearbox includes a sump, and the amount of lubricant depends on a level in the sump. 2. The wind turbine according to claim 1, wherein the controller is a P, PI, PD, or PID controller. 3. The wind turbine according to claim 1, wherein the actual state of operation comprises at least one of lubrication need and cooling need. 4. The wind turbine according to claim 1, further comprising at least a second pump being adapted to provide a constant amount of lubricant. 5. The wind turbine according claim 1, wherein the gearbox can be operated in at least two modes, one with dry sump and one with wet sump. 6. The wind turbine according to claim 1, further comprising a filter for filtering the lubricant, and wherein the amount of lubricant depends on a differential pressure over the filter. 7. The wind turbine according to claim 1, wherein a transfer function of the controller is a function of one or more controlling parameters selected from a group consisting of: a rotational speed of an element of the drive train, a lubricant level in a sump, a differential pressure over a filter, power production, one or more pressure values, one or more temperatures, humidity, wind speed, and loading of the drive train. 8. The wind turbine according to claim 7, wherein the controlling parameters are collected in one single controller. 9. The wind turbine according to claim 7, wherein the at least one controlling parameter is adapted to be recorded in a time-step, and the controller performs control based on more values of the controlling parameters obtained in the time-step. 10. The wind turbine according to claim 1, wherein the controller performs control according to a pre-specified sequence, and wherein the amount of lubricant provided in a first sequence is less that the amount of lubricant provided in a following sequence. 11. The wind turbine according to claim 1, wherein the lubricant is applied to a main shaft or to at least one bearing. 12. The wind turbine according to claim 1, wherein the controller comprises a fail safe function interrupting rotation of the drive train upon detection of insufficient lubricant. 13. A method of operating a wind turbine comprising: a rotatable drive train including at least one bearing,a gearbox including a sump, anda pump for supplying a lubricant to the bearing and/or the gearbox, the method comprising: providing a controller,recording the supply of the lubricant, andperforming a control of the pump to provide an amount of lubricant which varies depending on an actual state of operation, the control being a closed loop control, wherein the amount of lubricant depends on a level in the sump. 14. A wind turbine comprising: a rotatable drive train including at least one bearing,a first pump for supplying a lubricant to the bearing,a second pump for supplying a lubricant to the bearing independent of the first pump, the first pump being adapted to supply a variable amount of lubrication to the bearing and the second pump being adapted to supply a constant amount of lubrication to the bearing; anda controller for performing control of the first pump to provide an amount of lubricant which varies depending on an actual state of operation, wherein the controller performs closed loop control. 15. A method of operating a wind turbine comprising: a rotatable drive train including at least one bearing,a first pump and a second pump independent of the first pump, each pump for supplying a lubricant to the bearing, the method comprising: providing a controller operatively coupled to the first and second pumps,using the first pump to provide a variable amount of lubricant to the bearing,using the second pump to provide a constant amount of lubricant to the bearing,recording the supply of the lubricant, andperforming a control of the first pump to provide an amount of lubricant which varies depending on an actual state of operation, the control being a closed loop control.
