Comment (by Adam):

 What you suggest sounds along the lines of what I had in mind. I am
 currently porting some Matlab code, which has this kind of functionality
 built in,

 http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/toolbox/stats/gmdistribution.cluster.html

 and a cursory glance of the underlying code suggests they are basically
 doing something along the same lines.

 I would imagine I am going to be far from the only one who is looking to
 efficiently fit a GMM to some data and then use the result to assign the
 data points to clusters.
