Yes, indeed. Notmuch uses hooks scripts that I provide.
So far, I was relying on `home-xdg-configuration-files-service-type`
to copy them.

```scheme
(service home-xdg-configuration-files-service-type
  `(("notmuch/default/hooks" ,(local-file "tanguy.home/notmuch_hooks" #:recursive? #t))
    ; […]
  ))
```

Now I have to find an easy way to substitute some content in them.
I'll give it a try with `find-files` and `substitute` unless you can
suggest a better way… 🤞

Configuration specific! Fortunately I have a not-yet-submitted home
service for that. So I can easily insert the absolute path! 🥳
