Custom protocoll for svn:external.

All,
I got a problem wher we got lots of our system in a legacy VC system and
I want to use SVN as master VC system in the future.
So one solution to do the migration over tim is as i see to make it
possible to used a mixed system where
The svn external tag uses a custom protocoll and it is up to the user to
provide an exectabl that handles that uri som sample:

svn:external
component_a [CUSTOM]://some_path:and:more:/component_a/rev-1.1
component_b [CUSTOM]://some_path:and:more:/component_b/rev-1
component_c [CUSTOM]://some_path:and:more2:/component_c/rev-2.1

And the have svn to do som thing like this:
   CUSTOM "component_a" "//some_path:and:more:/component_a/rev-1.1"
   CUSTOM "component_a" "//some_path:and:more:/component_b/rev-1"
   CUSTOM "component_a" "//some_path:and:mores:/component_c/rev-2.1"

Where CUSTOM is a command in path and the command is spawned for each
line.

Is ther anyone that got similar ideas thougths on how to migrate slowly
and use differnet VC systems at the same time.
