I will answer this bit for now.

This was deliberate, so the full path name of ikiwiki-netsync-hook can
be hardcoded instead of relying on the path.

Inserting ikiwiki-netsync-hook (eg. /usr/local/bin from memory) in the
system path is dumb for a number of reasons:

* ikiwiki may not have write access to /usr/local/bin

* ikiwiki-netsync-hook needs to be different for different
  repositories.

* other reasons I can't think of right now.

So it makes sense to put the script in the repository. Unfortunately,
as far as I know, Perl won't do variable substitution unless we move
the code.
