[tools] Request for having plugins for mrepo

Hello,

I am using mrepo for hosting a lot of isos (mostly redhat based ones) 
and it has been a useful tool.
I would like to ask for a additional feature in mrepo. A lot of time I 
have to use some custom  scripts  on the mrepo
repositories to generate information base on the repository  like the 
yum/apt configuration files which can be downloaded by users
or a master boot image which can boot all available distros of a arch 
(unfortunately our environment cannot use PXE a lot of time) etc.

Most of the time I have shell scripts ending up in cron jobs, so even 
after doing a regeneration  of repositories  with mrepo  all is not updated
as I have to run the cron jobs manually.

Will it be possible to have some plugins to mrepo or some way to call a 
external script per repository ?

Is anyone else already facing similar needs ?

Regards
-pj
