I'm stoked about the availability of controllers now. I forgot to buy a few this last cyber monday/boxing day.
For your information, there are a number of 3rd party adapters on the market now. The official nintendo adapter is more difficult to find in stores. The Mayflash gamecube controller adapter apparently works better with the PC for homebrew than the official adapter.
Both are pretty much plug-n-play with Dolphin but I have not tried this myself.
