Renaissance can automatically layout user interfaces based on a 
relatively straightforward, non layout specific, interface 
description.  It works fairly well.  I have used it successfully a 
handful of times to build highly configurable applications where the 
types to be edited was data driven.

It is unfortunate that it is under a restrictive license.
