How can I get a Terminal-here button added to Finder toolbar?

I've seen Automator and AppleScripts that open a terminal to the path of the file currently selected in a Finder window. I think it would be more useful to me to simply have a button on the Finder toolbar that opens a terminal window to the current directory listed in the Finder.

"Reviewed OpenTerminal here and then found ShellHere. I chose ShellHere, compiled the source without a hitch and it does exactly what I want.

"cdto looks great and seems to be frequently maintained. They even have Mavericks and Yosemite matching icons (you have to install them manually).

ShellHere has a horrible icon (and adds the cd /you/long/folder/path/here as the first command to the terminal, which is super annoying)."

"Did you try Path Finder? (http://www.cocoatech.com/).
It does that and much more... It's not a button added to Finder, but it's a very powerful Finder replacement."
