glovepie seems to be a popular choice for Windows; as long as you're not in a military base or Isreal...  Using that to produce OSC is probably the most straightforward method currently.

A friend of mine has related plans for using Wii to augment his Cello playing.  Wii -> synth silliness from him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfM4vkc8dys

Actually, I tried sending Midi from Osculator (osculator.net) once (using my wiimote to control the pitch of a Nord Modular), and that wasn't very hard at all. For me at least, it is several orders of magnitude easier than the hardware stuff you suggest :) And since the site says Osculator supports OSC forwarding (gotta try that out later), and receiving OSC messages in ChucK is a breeze, that should be worth checking out. That is, if you use a Mac :/
