Good to hear it is working. I will try to test that soon.

Please implement the support also for OGR provider - that should boil
down to just a few lines of code when using QgsVectorFileWriter. In
QGIS 2.0 we could move the code of this class to OGR provider and then
remove that class. One more thing to consider for the importLayer
functionality: providers may need some provider-specific options -
e.g. in OGR this would be the name of the driver. That could be passed
in another optional key-value parameter (QMap<QString,QString> ?)
