Build(DbProviderInfo)

Creates a DbModel based on the configuration performed using this builder. Provider information must be specified because this affects the database layer of the generated model. For SqlClient the invariant name is 'System.Data.SqlClient' and the manifest token is the version year (i.e. '2005', '2008' etc.)
