Hi, There is a nice profile tool in the plugin called "VoGIS-ProfilTool". It is really flexible regarding your input data (new temporary line, line from existing layers), vertex options and output options and it allows to intersect with a surface layer (e.g. landcover, though this did not work in my tests). It can handle multiple surfaces, but only creates lines, no filled areas between the surfaces.
I suggest, if you consider writing a new tool, that you would have a look at the "VoGIS-ProfilTool" to either get a head start and improve on it.
