I'm not sure how visible the -u name should be to the user.  However,
it should *definitely* be available to the Emacs Lisp programmer.
Currently (18.55), the function command-line finds the -u name, loads
the init file, and then THROWS THE NAME AWAY!  It should be saved in a
variable.  This simple, invisible change would allow you to do what
you want.
