I have no idea... (unless we're talking about do a system call and let the
system execute:

The bash-script is probably not a problem (we're really only talking a 
about a few statements here), but the lack of shell access is a problem.

But I do think that this functionality would be pretty to have inside 
PmWiki, although I'm not sure how the version control would be handled.
In short, it's above my ability to write in PhP, and my motivation is low 
since I've already solved it using bash...
