It should be fairly straightforward. Your post-commit hook will need to
call ant and send it's parameters to Ant using Ant properties:
ant -Dsvn.author=$1 -Dsvn.newrev=$2

(NOTE: Not the real parameters - just examples)

Then, from Ant, you'll call svnlook to examine the changes, and do
everything you'll need.

Hope that helps !
