Thank you very much Rob Antonishen. The gimp_fuzzy_select() is the exactly I want to hear as the answer. Now I'm ready to start hacking. Cheers. :-)

gimp_fuzzy_select
Input:
DRAWABLE drawable The affected drawable
FLOAT x x coordinate of initial seed fill point: (image coordinates)
FLOAT y y coordinate of initial seed fill point: (image coordinates)
INT32 threshold Threshold in intensity levels 0 <= threshold <= 255
INT32 operation The selection operation: { ADD (0), SUB (1), REPLACE
(2), INTERSECT (3)
}
INT32 antialias Antialiasing (TRUE or FALSE)
INT32 feather Feather option for selections
FLOAT feather_radius Radius for feather operation
INT32 sample_merged Use the composite image, not the drawable
Returns: nothing
This tool creates a fuzzy selection over the specified image. A fuzzy
selection is determined by a seed fill under the constraints of the
specified threshold. Essentially, the color at the specified
coordinates (in the drawable) is measured and the selection expands
outwards from that point to any adjacent pixels which are not
significantly different (as determined by the threshold value). This
process continues until no more expansion is possible. The
antialiasing parameter allows the final selection mask to contain
intermediate values based on close
misses to the threshold bar at
pixels along the seed fill boundary. Feathering can be enabled
optionally and is controlled with the "feather_radius" paramter. If
the sample_merged parameter is non-zero, the data of the composite
image will be used instead of that for the specified drawable. This is
equivalent to sampling for colors after merging all visible layers. In
the case of a merged sampling, the supplied drawable is ignored.If the
sample is merged, the specified coordinates are relative to the image
origin; otherwise, they are relative to the drawable's origin.
