In order to create, delete or modify a PostGIS layer one has to connect
to a database and choose a schema first anyway. My plugin at least must
have the connection chooser, "connect" button and schema/table selector.
The "search options" button from the "Add Postgis Table" would be very
usefull too. These all are implemented in the "Add Postgis Table"
already and constitute the most of it. An option to create, delete,
modify PostGIS tables fits rigth there, and should be there.
Since I don't know C++ and can't extend the "Add Postgis Table" like it
is, I have to recreate it in Python, then add desired extra functionality.
