you're right, GdalTools has a map containing all the drivers
informations, it gets everything from the gdal module but that
part was developed about 2 years ago as workaround for some
old QGis bugs.

Have a look at QgsVectorFileWriter static methods,
supportedFiltersAndFormats() [1] should be the one you need.

Regards.
