[Qgis-user] create a shapefile tile index from a boundingbox list

Hi,

I have a csv file containing a list of topographic maps with bounding
box coordinates like this:
sheet no, upper left coordinates (lon/lat), lower left coordinates
(lon/lat), lower right coordinates (lon/lat), upper right coordinates
(lon/lat)
3631-I,7,121.5,7,122,6.5,121.5,6.5,121.5

I want to convert the text file into a shapefile polygon box.  In the
past I used delimited text plugin converting the four corners as
separate records.  Then digitize a polygon (snapping to the point).
Any other way to do this in QGIS?
