A friend of mine who had only mantrans vehicles and busted his left foot a few years ago solved this problem by welding up an extension/adapter/heehaw redneck thing that let him clutch with his left hand, which I think is one of the options you listed. It wasn't ideal as he had to use his bum leg to hold the steering wheel while shifting with both hands, but it did work.

The "Duck Clutch" seems neat, I am imagining a motorcycle style lever on the shift lever running to a remote power brake cylinder sleeved to the size of the clutch cylinder.

fake edit: apparently clutch boosters are a thing. Came stock on the 3000gt and lots of big trucks and aftermarket from http://www.redbooster.com/

Cool!

Steppers blow rear end unless you're building an idle air control valve, floppy drive, or inkjet printer.

Rather than get microcontrollers and motors and poo poo involved (even as a computer engineer) I would go with some sort of booster setup.
