Handily, these are just Quartz Compositions, so I tinkered around in Quartz Composer for a while (two nights actually), and through total trial and error, managed to end up with something usable (Scope.qtz - 28KB). Obviously, iVisualize needs to be installed first, then just drop the Scope.qtz file into Library -> iTunes -> iVisualize.
If anyone out there with any knowledge of Quartz Composer wants to tinker further to increase the resolution of the image, then please do so. I tried to to get help from a couple of Quartz Composer forums, but they weren't interested. And to change the colour, open the composition in Quartz Composer and edit the "Sprite" item (#5) -- the info window has a colour chooser box, just change that to whatever's needed. If anyone can whack this into the options menu of iVisualize...
I understand this is barely a hint, more a half-finished bit of code begging to be finished, but I always loved the scope on WMP, and just don't find iTunes visualisations all that great.
[robg adds: I chose to run this one due to the possibilities presented by using iVisualize and Quartz Composer to create your own iTunes visualizers, for those who find the stock versions unsatisfying.]
