Hi Andy, I was musing about this some more this morning and I have a suggestion. :)
How big an endeavor would it be to have this as a Display mode? i.e setting a viewport Display mode to 'Matcap' or 'Litsphere' and having it override all materials. Perhaps setting the litsphere image via custom preference? A more immediate way to set it up would certainly be awesome. Like I say, it's just a suggestion, kudos for making the shader in the first place!
