I agree, it would be nice to have a more convenient solution.  Having
the hook point at all is a step towards that, though.

That's a shame.  Have you tried reading the current version?  IIRC it
got better around 2.2b3 thanks to the PerFileMerger API.

I'd be happy to try explain how it works on list if you can point me in
the rough direction of where you get lost, it might help others
interested in writing similar hooks.  (And might be the start of some
more text to add to the docs.)
