No. Unfortunately not. That's what I first tried too.
But the explorer/shell loads the overlay handlers on startup only. And
those handlers only can return true/false to show the overlay or not.
If they could return the icon to use as the overlay, that would be
great! But unfortunately, it's not implemented that way.

I already have some checking in place. TSVN will allocate as many
slots as possible. It checks the *installed* overlay handlers for
that, because that number can be very different from the *loaded*
handlers. If there are more handlers installed than slots are
available, then TSVN only loads the 'important' ones (i.e. conflicted,
normal, modified) but not 'added', 'deleted', ... which get replaced
by 'modified'.
