Have you seen Jouni Kerman's Umacs package? It sounds similar in spirit. Something I would love to see done (not that I have the time and energy to supervise someone to do it right now) would be an R (or Python/etc.: R wouldn't necessarily be the best tool) to translate lmer/nlme syntax (Wilkinson-Rogers with extensions for specifying random factors, correlation structures, etc.) into a BUGS file. It strikes me that it would be a really nice way to bridge the gap between what mixed-model code can do and what requires BUGS/MCMC. Such models could also serve as (1) a way to cross-check the results of mixed model code; (2) a way to get started in relaxing the assumptions of mixed models (e.g. allowing for non-normal random effects distributions).
