We've been kicking around the ability to specify hooks as Python objects
to be called, instead of external programs to run.

For example, this is how I'd see it working:

[extensions]
hgext.myhook =

[hooks]
pretxncommit.myhook = python:hgext.myhook.myfunction

This would import the hgext.myhook module as an extension, and then do a
call to myfunction in the hgext.myhook module when the prextncommit hook
triggers.
