That's a good idea, but probably not workable.  First, I don't think the
script will run on stock mswin.  Even if it did, I'm not sure there's a
syntax to run a filter located within the repository (think initial
checkout).

In other words, the attributes filter provides a natural hook for this
type of thing; but I'm not sure its any easier for the end user to set up.
 At least the commit hook is optional.
