OK, I managed to get this function called and log the user name from
Auth::getAuth(), as a test. I suppose it can now fetch any HTTP
parameter passed from the redirecting application and return it
as the 'hostspec' string.

I've just tried this - for testing only, I typed in the gollem url
with "username"
and "password" parameters but it didn't quite do what I would expect -
I got Gollem's login page, where the username and password
fields where filled with the values I supplied in the URL, then I had to click
"login" to log in.

I managed to get this after I told Horde that Gollem is the application which
handles authentication.

I suspect it rejected the original HTTP request because it was missing a
"Horde" HTTP request parameter (a session identifier?). Is there a way
to tell Gollem to "just take this user name and password, create a Horde
session and use the username/password to login user's home
directory"?
