Stadens STuff does this...

nip has a part called 

Structures and repeats menu
 0 = List of menus
30 = Search for hairpin loops
31 = Search for long range inverted repeats
32 = Search for repeats
33 = Search for z dna (total ry,yr)
34 = Search for z dna (runs of ry or yr)
35 = Search for z dna (best phased value)
36 = Search for local similarity or complementarity
? Menu or option number=

This does a pretty good job of searching for repeats.
