MCU Initialization tool with code generator

Is there a tool for the STM32F series that I can use to configure and generate code for intializing the peripherals?

I used something like this for Coldfire parts (http://www.microapl.co.uk/CFInit/cfinit_main.html) and it was a great help. Thanks.

Keil uVision has something along these lines...

I know it's not a SW tool, but don't the examples in ST FW library do the job? I use them myself except really specific cases...

The examples are a help but they are harder to use than the Coldfire init. program.

The Coldfire initialization tool is really nice because you can go through the entire initialization sequence and it generates code in the order necessary. The ST examples are nice but it is easy to make a mistake and forget something. Also, on the CF tool, you can save the config. and then go make changes and regenerate code. You can also reuse the config. file for other projects. If you have a moment, I encourage you to try it to get a feel for what I'm saying. To me it is like a GUI Vs command line both are good and both have their purposes and get the job done but for the vast majority, the GUI is preferable.
