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.

Dependencies are not evaluated at all when installing or running
scripts.

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.
