 Yeah, I just finished a pretty simple python plugin that basically
reads <maplayer> entries from a .qgs project file XML, then puts them
in a Qt table with the basic info (type, geometry, datasource) and a
check box. Check the layers you want, and they get loaded into Qgis.

 Doesn't handle groups (havent tried it with project files with
groups...) or anything else really... But it does load the layers in
with the styling.

 A simple extension would be to load all layers from a plugin in a
kind of 'include project' option.
