There is the Draco system which does this automatically [U of Calif at
Irvine].  I don't have personal experience with this system, but it is
claimed successful in "TMM: Software Maintenance by Transformation" by
G. Arango, et al., IEEE Software, (May 1986) {sorry, I don't have the
vol and issue #s}.  

Does anyone know current status of this project?
