  I've added some notes to the wiki on my selection plugin. I've started 
a repository here:

http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Qgis/Plugins/plugins.xml

It's very beta, doesn't check anything, and I have two weird problems 
that I don't understand:

  1. In Windows, when drawing a polygon selection, sometimes the 
selection polygon appears with a white bounding box, obscuring the map 
canvas. If I resize the window to cause a repaint, the white box 
disappears. Maybe I need to call some repaint method in my tool? Works 
find on Linux...

  2. ...however on Linux if I Ctrl-RightClick for the first point of a 
polygon selection, Qgis crashes right out. I haven't noticed this on 
Windows, will try it tonight.

  Feel free to have a play, comments and criticisms welcome.
