You should be able to add some code to config/backends.php to do this.  
Just change the params->hostspec value to foo_function() and define 
foo_function() at the bottom of the file and write your dynamic lookup 
code there.

You mean pass it through via the URL? (e.g. 
login.php?username=foo1&password=foo2)  This will work minus the 
obvious security issues inherent with this.

> 3. Configure things like "show_dotfiles".

This is done via config/prefs.php.  I'm not sure what you mean by 
'configure'.  You can configure a users preferences however you want 
(just like any Horde application) by creating the desired entry in the 
preference backend.
