I'd probably use svn_repos_pre_commit_hook in all three places (use
apr_pstrcat to add the .bat) rather than hard-coding the hook name.

I would expect this to work in practice as I've never seen a Unix
machine without /bin/sh, but I suppose strictly speaking we cannot rely
on /bin/sh. Is it portable enough? I suppose we could have a configure
variable based on CONFIG_SHELL. Or have a configure variable based on
PYTHON and write the hook in python. Or perhaps compile some C to
produce an executable and use that by copying it into the repository.
