I did a little research. You can create bones and poses in Daz3D Studio
and Poser. Poser 8 costs $250, but you can buy Poser 7 for $50. Daz3D
Studio is free, but you have to buy a $30 plugin to create your own
bones and poses from scratch. Otherwise you can only manipulate poses in
existing models that already contain bones.
Too bad there's no free/OSS tool. :(
