Yes I found that useful too in the past, although I have found it did not generate the code exactly the same and in some cases you had to tweak it slightly.
I've added a few more links to useful Content Type Development pages to that wiki page<http://www.sharepointdevwiki.com/display/public/ContentType> from my social bookmarks<http://www.diigo.com/user/jthake/contenttypes+development>.

At least it saves you the hassle of authoring the feature.xml and element.xml from scratch. It's certainly pre-release however, and I would always suggest reviewing what it generates to ensure "it's got everything".

It seems there is no simple OOTB way to achieve this without redeploying the entire site collection. The following look very promising. Does anyone have any experience with this approach, or recommend another that doesn't involve cutting XML or CAML by hand?
