There are no case tools that I know of that do this but the techniquck is
callled FODA ( Feature oriented Domain Analysis ). I think Don Batory at utexaqs
first came up with it. It is closley associated with a method called 
GenVoca. Krzysztof Czarnecki wrote a book and his web page has a downloadable
chapter on FODA. 

I don't know if it is still there but Beman Dawes  wrote an article on how to
do this on the boost site.

Take care
