A scanner info provider doesn't seem to have a straight connection to
IExtendedScannerInfo, it gets passed a IScannerInfoCollector, which in
turn has a contributeToScannerConfig(resource,Map scannerInfo)
method. This scannerInfo Map seems to have ScannerInfoTypes as its key
type, and that class does not seem to contain a MACRO_FILES entry. So
even though I do have my own provider I'm missing the point at how to
link it to IExtendedScannerInfo?
