I don't think there is. Can you give an example of how you envision
such a utility would work? For several reasons (outlined here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=70165
) I think it is a good thing that externals aren't ultra-easy to define.
In fact, I am in the process of ensuring that only a select few people
can actually set or modify this property because it is easily misused.
