For the ghetto version look at one handed mountain bike setups, which usually have all shifters and two separate lever on one side of the bar.

With the right lever combination you could easily get the set up so you can pull either two levers at the same time or pull one lever on it's own. Decided which brake you'd prefer to operate on it's own and set that up closet to the end of the bar so you can operate it with your middle finger, set the other lever slightly inboard so if you use your index finger you pull both levers at the same time.
Before the advent of dual cable levers many people ran their dual brakes with that style of set up.
