Have you looked at Blobman?  I've played a little with it, and the
people seem acceptable (I wish I understood how to make clothes for
them, though).  I've not gotten past some basic posing, but the people
are already built, the "output" of a movement macro would be a matrix of
positions for the body parts.  

Good luck (I would love to have an easy to use human animation macro,
too).
