Say hitting the opponent in the face with the butt end of a greatsword, a quicker attack but for less damage, and things like ramming and minor unarmed attacks to distract and daze opponents? If its anywhere im guessing Complete Scoundrel, but havent checked yet.

As for other parts of the weapon, other than flavor, there is no reason, wait, I just thought of one. You can attack to do non-lethal damage at a -4. There are times when you might want to do that. There is no weapon speed in the game, so nothing could make it 'quicker'. Ramming - Bullrush PHB Chapter 8

Most of that sound like called shots, which is not a part of the 3.5 system (and can't easily be added due to the way the system is designed.)
