I have no idea how SketchUp make shadows... but how about creating a plugin for making artificial light sources inside SU?
The idea is simple:

There is no control over the shadows in Ruby.
Closest thing you'd get is create faces simulating shadow...

It is possible to "construct" the shadows (as semitransparent faces) with Ruby, but with great tools like LightUp and Podium that work with SU, I don't think you'll see anything soon (though I could be wrong).
