Do you need/intend to use g-code at all for this installation? If not, it is probably a good candidate for a "hal-only" configuration. Stepgens, limit2 or limit3 blocks, muxes, integrators, etc, can be used to do just about anything you can imagine. PyVCP can be used for on-screen controls, and joysticks, buttons or other devices for external controls.
As an example: http://www.teslaorchestra.com/claw-game.html I have a few custom HAL components that I could share if useful. For example, one lets you switch from manually controlling each motor (for "homing") to coordinated control.
