While we're on the subject of hooks, I've been wondering how to pass the
quilt patches dir path to my gen-applied-string hook.  (I have a hook
that does lsdiff on patches that have no header.)

Right now I'm just using $patches, since, well, that works.

The post-quilt hook gets that value passed to it, but that doesn't help
since it runs _after_ gen-applied-string.

I suppose I could add another hook that runs sooner…

Cheers,
