Easily adding shower where there's only a tub faucet?

(Just posted this in the Bathroom forum but perhaps it's more appropriate here?)

Hi - The house we're purchasing has one bathroom with only a tub--and only a tub faucet. No showerhead at all. (Go figure.) Eventually we plan to renovate the entire bathroom, but for now is there an easy, *inexpensive* way to add a showerhead?

Ideally something that does NOT involve opening the wall/tile--for instance, can the tub faucet be replaced with something that hooks up to a handheld shower hose that we could mount at showerhead height? And is it DIY-able (by people like us who don't know plumbing at all)?

Extra points if you can link me directly to product details, and/or a how-to page. :-D

Thanks!
