    Thought I would pass on my limited success in doing this....

    I did install Cygwin on the server, including the ssmtp package. I also
installed the Subversion supplied with Cygwin, but backed that out after
problems.

    Now, what I have is this. First, a "post-commit.bat" looking like this
(with some potentially sensitive information removed):
----- cut -----
@echo off
C:
cd <repos-path>\hooks
C:\cygwin\bin\bash post-commit.sh %1 %2 commit-watchers@foo.com
----- cut -----

    The "post-commit.sh" in the hooks directory looks like this:
----- cut -----
#!/usr/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
EMAIL="$3"

/cygdrive/c/<repos_path>/hooks/commit-email.pl "$REPOS" "$REV" -h foo.com -s
"[svn:projname] " "$EMAIL"

----- cut -----

    Finally, the "commit-email.pl" comes directly from
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/commit-email.pl.in
    with the svnlook path line looking like this:
my $svnlook = "/cygdrive/c/<subversion_root>/bin/svnlook";

    You also need to put an appropriate "ssmtp.conf" file in
<cygwin_root>/etc/ssmtp
    by modifying the template found in
<cygwin_root>/usr/share/doc/ssmtp-2.60.9/ssmtp.conf

    Not clean, by any means, but it now works in a Windows environment.
