readseq version2 may or may not help:
  http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/soft/molbio/readseq/java/
It will pull any feature annotations from genbank or embl sequence files.
If you feed readseq a file of many genbank/embl records, it will produce
output with the feature sequence separated by record.  If you feed it one
large sequence record (e.g., a chromosome) with many feature annotations,
it will join all the feature sequence into one output record (for that csome).

If you translate to embl/genbank while selecting a feature, the output
documentation will list the join() statements it used to make the output
sequence from the extracted features.

E.g.
fetch ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/genomes/S_cerevisiae/Chr01/yst_1.gbk.Z
jre -cp readseq.jar run format=fasta features=gene yst_1.gbk

Readsesq will read ncbi's genome section .gbk files, but chokes on the large ones 
currently (I think I know the solution..).
