Description
it would be really useful to allow users define labels using the values of a column in the table of attributes.
It would be also useful to allow data driven symbol color RGB values.

I'm currently working on data dependent labelling-ng (data dependent RGB values is something different. Probably it should be a ticket on its own)
#2

The attached patch adds support for data defined font and buffer settings to the new labeling.
Martin, could you review it?
Thanks,
Marco

Marco, I've checked the patch and it looks fine.
I would also remove the legacy prepareLayer() call as I don't think we need to care about backwards compatibility here (labeling-ng is the only user of that interface). Additionally, I would use QList<in> instead of QSet<int> for the list of attribute indexes - a list is used also when passing the indexes to layer/provider.

Applied in 33194f8a (SVN r13999). Thanks for reviewing, Martin.
I removed the legacy method but kept the QSet (it is a bit easier for the label engine to filter duplicated fields).
