2. Get a Problem Solvers 2:1 Cable Doubler (pdf). They're a bit pricey, but the right way to do 2 levers to 1 brake. Some other company makes a cable splitter aimed at tri/time trial bikes that's priced about the same level as the PS Doubler but the name escapes me.

EDIT: The forgotten company is Jtek. Scroll down.
Someone over at Bicycle Mechanics said this would be doable with cross levers. The FGG Tutorial solution seems sketchy. I have to wonder, why couldn't I just set up the cross levers with one primary and one inline, as though it was the aero/cross combo on one side?
