[Qgis-developer] Moving providers to core

[Alexander Bruy]

Hi all.

Now all data providers in QGIS implemented as plugins and have
no Python (some of them also C++) bindings. Having bindings for
providers will allow to work with complex datasources from plugins.
For example, now it is impossible to get response from WMS
server in Python plugin using only QGIS API.

Maybe we should provide bindings for plugins? But here another
problem appears: where to place this bindings? Core is wrong place
because availability of plugins are not guaranteed. As possible
solution plugins can be linked to core library.

Any opinions?
