I've actually created something similar for QGIS, though I've not made 
it available yet. Basically it's a python module that users can import 
via the python console. It has a (very) simple api so that, in theory, 
it could be linked to a geoprocessing gui, and the various geoprocessing 
functions could be linked together (as in a model building environment).

Currently, plugins "can't" work together, but generic modules "can"...

If people are interested, perhaps someone would like to have a look at 
make something a bit more stable?
