Hmm - I can't find a way to access the current tool through the PDB.
Am I mistaken?

I was playing with this idea a bit (in Python), and
vector.stroke.interpolate will give a list of points along a path - I
assume this function is also available in script-fu.  I've pasted what
I was messing around with below, but w/o access to the current tool,
it's a bit useless as a plug-in ;)
