Awesome!
Just get ready for the inevitable flood of feature requests! ;-)
Here's one:
When no light is selected, create a new one. When a light is selected, use that
to place the highlight instead of creating a new one.
For inspiration:
I stumbled over the HDR Light Studio website after following some links from
yesterdays thread about PiVR.
Here's a video demonstrating the workflow:

That looks really slick. It creates an HDR image instead of lights, but the
workflow looks really refined.
I love the fact that you can create area lights too and adjust their shape.

Hi Eugen,
Yes, it would be simple to do with the Tool SDK.
In fact, we already have a spot light creation tool example that ships with
Softimage (search for SpotLightCreateTool in the custom tools addon) so only
the reflected ray part would need to be added.
Anyone up for the challenge? ;-)
Belatedly picking up the gauntlet and thread. Had some time to fiddle around
with the Tool SDK over the Christmas holidays and cannibalised the
SpotLightCreateTool as Brent suggested. Tool SDK has been great to work with.
I'm in renewed awe of Piotrek Marczak's work (Meshpaint, Soft
Transform) using the SDK. First usable stab linked below (addon and movie).
