Nice work theeth. Have I seen that octopus being used somewhere before? I have a vague recollection of auto-rigging or something… :P

Oh and one more thing…I watched the videos, and I've seen them all I think, but I never saw the armatures actually move the mesh. Is this going to eventually be an auto-rigger or just a faster way to make bones?

This is awesome. The one thing I always hated doing in Blender, was doing armatures. Not that Blender was bad at it, but way more that I was horrible at it. I've even had to get people to do it for me, because I'm so bad at it. But if this does what it looks like it does, I might have no excuse as to why I haven't rigged something yet.

Any clue when I can have this?

No, it is NOT.

This is separate from Grease Pencil.

Converting Grease Pencil to armature does a very poor job.

Acutally it is. Ijust tried 2.48 and there is a convert to armature choice under the convert button in the Grease pencil popup

@Shaba1: this is not in the released blender.

Ok just to be clear. This IS NOT included in blender version 2.48 from http://www.blender.org?
I looked at the videos and some of them said ver 2.47.10
Some said 2.48.

Ok third
this is all well and good. But IF this feature is included in 2.48 how does one turn it on to use it. The videos forgot to mention that.

Wow man…How can Blender devs come up with ideas like this ?
I don't really know Maya and MAX, but is this an exclusive feature?

This is great…We all love you crazy devs !
