[Qgis-developer] Improving ftools geoprocessing tools

[Mathieu Pellerin]

Yep. I think the user-friendliness of ftools are that a/ algorithms are
offered in a simple and accessible menu items, and b/ the menu item icons
_greatly_ ease the understanding of what algorithms do.

Both can be added to processing.
