Those layer effects are just scripts inspired in Photoshop's layer 
effects (which are non-destructive and editable).
As far as I know having GIMP ported completely to GEGL will make things 
like that possible (while the old core didn't), but still somebody has 
to code the feature.
I'm afraid it's not as simple as incorporate the existing effects to 
GIMP proper.

Regarding the original topic, I remember there was a "vector layers" 
GSoC project that never made it into GIMP.
It's from 2006, so it was designed for the old core, but maybe somebody 
could take a look, at least to see if some of that code is useful for 
introducing the feature to the new GEGLized GIMP.
