Note that OT layouts aren't always generated from Adobe's feature
files: *.fea is just one of possible human-readable formats. FontForge
and MS Volt don't use this format, but instead provide a visual
GUI for designing OT features, while Rogier van Dalen's OTComp
utility uses an alternate feature description format.

As for me, I like FontForge's GUI, but feel absolutely uncomfortable
with Adobe's files, so you won't find any *.fea "sources" for my own
fonts :) However FontForge allows to import/export Adobe's files, so
you could just use this feature and then study the imported file.
