Changing pivotpoint with mel

[shcmack]

You could connect the translate of the pivot-controller to the rotatePivot and scalePivot of the controller, like this:
//Define the names of the objects
string $pivotCtrl = "locator1";
string $obj = "pCube1";
//Connect the translate of $pivotCtrl to rotatePivot and scalePivot of $obj
connectAttr -f ($pivotCtrl + ".t") ($obj + ".rotatePivot");
connectAttr -f ($pivotCtrl + ".t") ($obj + ".scalePivot");

However, if you're going to animate the pivot, you should check out Jason Schleifer's "Animation Friendly Rigging", it's awsome (if you're interested in rigging) :) Anyway, one of the things he goes through is how to set up an animatable pivot point.
