Given that the Powershell installer does not associate .ps1 with
powershell.exe by default (for security reasons), it seems to me that this
would require SVN to deduce the path to powershell.exe in order to execute
.ps1 files as hook scripts. I have a feeling such a change would be
considered too windows-specific.

You can of course run Powershell scripts as hook scripts today the same way
you would run any other unsupported script type, by creating a batch file
that invokes Powershell with the correct parameters:

[[
set PSEXE = "C:\Program Files\Windows Powershell\1.0\powershell.exe"
%PSEXE% %1 %2
]]

Also, may I interest you in my Powershell tab completion for svn.exe?
