Perl is an extremely popular scripting language which of course
exists for Windows as well. Hopefully your IT staff is there to help
you, in which case they should allow perl to be installed.

A server-side hook cannot change the incoming transaction data in any
way. (Well, it can change revision properties, but svn:externals is a
file property, not a revision property, so it cannot change that.)
The best you can do is commit a second revision after the fact to fix
things that were incorrect in the initial revision. But that requires
the server to deal with maintaining a working copy for this task and
it can be complicated.
