Stefan also suggested to define a environment variable for this and I like it, 
too. It also helps when all the hooks are removed from pm-utils and put into 
other packages. A variable that points to the function file would be imho the 
best, because then we are not tight to any file/directory layout and any 
additional information could be provided via functions/variables that are 
defined within the function file.
