Hi Percy, the next release of QGIS will have better (python) plugin 
support, with a 'plugin repository' where people can write their own 
plugins.
When I posted your message to to QGIS-dev list, people pointed to the 
'geoprocessing' plugin of QGIS where it's possible to do a basic union 
function for two layers... Don't know if it's enough for you, contact 
Horst Duester (who wrote the geoprocessing plugin) if you want more ;-)

Regards,
