I hate that, since i cannot just use the source files for testing but always
need to do make install"
Can't we just export some variable up in the stack (like PM_DIR or something
like that) and then just use that in the hooks.

And think twice before changing that location.
1) User's hooks are already using the old location (we already changed once
   from /etc/ to /usr/lib and it was a PITA for users)
2) it is pretty important that everyone (across distributions) uses the same
   location, so that all the tutorials and hooks out there in the internet
   are useful for everyone.

Where do you actually want to put the functions?
