The features are already there in qgis and Giovanni Manghi was very helpful 
yesterday in helping me to find where they are.
In version 1.9.9 they are slightly buried away, you have to go to the plugin 
manager and specifically switch on the 'spatial query plugin'.  This is loaded 
by default in qgis but is not switched on which is why I could not find it - I 
was looking through the list of plugins from various providers and through all 
the menus but had not realized there were some plugins that come with qgis but 
are just not switched on.

Seems a very obvious thing to do but could not find it in qgis.  I have a set

using a polygon in a shape file i.e. not a hand drawn one which I know you can 
use to select points.
