[Qgis-developer] New Plugin builder

[Gary Sherman]

I have created a web-based tool to build a minimal QGIS Python plugin.

Basically you specify the required parameters and it creates a ready  
to run plugin with an blank dialog. The tool compiles the resource and  
Ui files and packages it all up into a zip file for download.

You can try the builder at: http://pyqgis.org/builder/plugin_builder.py

The zip file contains a Makefile which can be used to recompile the Ui  
and resource files if you change them. The builder uses Qt 4.4,  
however the generated plugin should work on any QGIS 1.0 install.

If you've been wanting to develop QGIS plugins but didn't know where  
to start, this tool can get you started quickly by setting up the  
structure for you.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
