Thank you for this useful tool! And for the tutorial!
Is anyone else getting an error when they try to make controls? I get a dependency loop warning and it halts the process.
Here's the error:

Cube depends on CTRL.L through Hook Modifier.
constraint_to_mesh.CTRL.L depends on Cube through Vertex Parent.
rig depends on constraint_to_mesh.CTRL.L through Copy Location.

So enabling "Auto run python scripts" seems to help a little. That was the initial issue. At least now I can create one control on surface. But that's it. Enabling the new depsgraph does allow me to mirror that first control but after that it just complains about the dependency loop like crazy and doesn't let you move any of them. It also won't create let me create anymore after that.
There is clearly something that the developer is not telling us about his setup. the script does't really work on my side. I'd love to hear from others if they've managed to get it to work. Because if it does work, it looks like a massively cool solution to an age old problem.
