Oops, there are two more small problems:
>+ file_append (hook,
>+ "@echo off\n"

Instead of hook.py, it should be hook_py. Also, there is no need for
"@echo off\n", since the ensuing line is prefixed with an "@" sign.
From http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/echo.mspx:
"To prevent echoing of a line, insert an at sign (@) in front of a
command in a batch program."
Cheers,
