[Qgis-developer] Improving ftools geoprocessing tools

[Matthias Kuhn]

/me adding "icon" to the list of actions

Therefore the plan of action should be:

 * Add icon support to processing
 * Create menu entries for often used (internal) processing algorithms
 * Remove ftools algorithms
 * Identify slow algorithms
 * Improve performance

Cheers
Matthias
