There are several that can do everything you mentioned with regard
to spacing and track points (gcdmaster w/cdrdao is one), but I
haven't run across one that will do actual audio processing like
complex fades or cross-fades as well.   

There are also a few features of such a proposed tool that would
be nice for CD mastering:
 * quick-jump auditioning between several points to get a feel for perceived 
   relative levels on different tracks (ideally, with very low latency switching)

 * integration with Steve's mastering toolkit (JAM) to make this *the*
   tool.  I think that JAM should be implemented plugin-based,
   so that a GUI/diskIO tool such as this could encapsulate all
   the mastering needs, *but* other tools can still make use of
   it.

just throwing stuff out....
