pbuilder hook file question



I've got an application where I need a config file
in my pbuilder hooks directory. The trouble is, how
does a hook script find it?

bash will give you the full path of the currently
executing script in $0, but unlike in csh it 
doesn't appear you can just take all but the 
rightmost path element with :r since it only
works on history expansion.

To be useful it needs to be something really 
simple since I want something like this:

.  $0:h/hooks.cfg

as the first line of my hook scripts.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to do this
in bash?
