It should be quite easy since the postinstall scripts are run in POSIX
sort order. Just give the script a name like 00001_autorebase.bat and
it should always be the first one that runs.

But it would really be better to use triggers for these sort of scripts.
I have something implemented for my "perpetual" postinstall that does an
incremental rebase after each setup run, but it could be extended to be
controlled by setup.ini instead of a naming convention.
