Modifying Erik's script for Windows

I read with interest Jacques' post of a pre-commit hook. (Text of his
original script is included below.) It came at a great time. I have a need
for just such a script, but my installation is using a svn repository on a
Windows 2003 Server.

I would like to modify this script according. I realize I need to change the
path to Python and the "SVNLOOK" statement to point to the directory where
our installation of Subversion lies.

Thus, I think I have something like the following. Note my changes in red.

I have not yet tested this, and I might need to check my path variable,
right?

Jacques, if you or anyone else on the users forum have suggestions for me, I
would greatly appreciate it.
