[Qgis-developer] SIP API Update

[Matthias Kuhn]

Thank you Nathan, Great to see somebody tackle this task.

I sent a preliminary patch for gdaltools to the list a couple of days 
ago.
I don't know if it helps and it sure is buggy, but whoever is going to 
upgrade this plugin could have a look.
It's attached again here for convenience.
