That would absolutely be the simplest way.

In our neighborhood, I'd bet they'd do it like this....
Unscrew a light bulb from the opener.
Put it one of these...
Then one of these strung across the ceiling with staples through a hole knocked in the wall with a sledge hammer...
What's wrong with that???

Well, if you put one of these adapters: Leviton 1403 Two Outlet Socket Adapter, Black - Light Sockets - Amazon.com (or one of the adapters MossRoad linked to) in the socket, you could power a LED spotlight such as: WoneNice LED Spotlight Flood Light 10w Garden Outdoor Ip65 Waterproof Floodlight Warm White (3000k-3500k) - Silver - - Amazon.com to light up the area.

In all seriousness, that's probably the easiest way to do it. However, he'd have to duplicate the setup, as he wants to have it work for either opener. So, double the cost and he'd have to have two lights mounted next to each other. It would look kind of odd.
If it were me.... I'd use an X10 powerflash module, a magnetic switch on the door, and an x10 wall switch to control the outdoor light. Wham, bam, thank you OW MY EYES, THAT LIGHT IS BRIGHT!!!
Install a floodlight.
Wire it for a regular wall switch, but:
Install this higher powered X10 wall switch.
X10 XPS3-IW WS13A High-Wattage 20A Relay Switch
Plug in an X10 power flash module to an existing wall outlet in the garage.
X10 PSC01 X10 Powerflash Interface
Install this wide gap magnetic switch on the garage door and wire it to the power flash module with garage door opener switch wire.
SECO-LARM SM-216Q/GY Wide Gap Magnetic Contact - Gray
If he has two (or three, or four) garage doors, just add another magnetic switch to each door. They all can be connected to the same power flash module. If any of the doors are opened, the light will turn on.

On a related note.... he could also put an X10 outlet in his house with a night light plugged into it. If someone leaves any of the garage doors open, the night light will be on. Doors close, the night light goes out. I'm going to do this myself, as for the past 18 years, our car has been kept outside. I finally cleaned my garage and got the car inside for the winter. However, we keep forgetting to close the garage door from the house, and its not easily seen from the house. So, this will be a cheap way for us to see with a nightlight in the kitchen.
