There is another squat variation that focuses on the glutes, I forgot about it earlier. Tony Horton calls it the 80/20 squat (think it has been referred to as a 1-legged squat by others): the working leg has about 80% of the body's weight on it, and the other leg is bent w/ the ball of foot on ground w/ about 20% of the bodyweight (so naturally the weight will not be distributed evenly). The bent leg can be placed close to the working leg or farther apart (depends on what feels best to you), and you would squat as low as you can, and complete reps on both sides. This can be a bodyweight exercise or weighted.

You could do box squats - which utilize the glutes more effectively.
