Oh my god. I have dreamed of, and half-implemented badly, exactly this. Not quite what I was thinking of, but still quite useful for that class of problem.
There's also TreeAge which is popular in health informatics (the name is a pun off of "triage") and, perhaps more generally, BUGS/JAGS which can be used to build and test arbitrary Bayesian network models.

You should submit this as an HN post too. Thanks!
