There has been a (short) discussion about this on the svn-migration 
mailinglist (cc'd) which resulted in the recommendation of writing it 
either in Python (because subversion uses that natively) or PHP (since 
we don't like the whole perl clog that's in there right now).

The migration process seems to have ground to a standstill lately 
(judging by the amount of posts to that list in the last month (last one 
being at the start of september)), but all help is appreciated. Please 
join that mailinglist so we can all work together and not be forced to 
re-post every idea and option twice (internals and svn-migration) just 
because people don't read the list.
