Look in serve.c:auth() for the handling of the "EXTERNAL" case (inside
#if APR_HAS_USER). The --tunnel-user argument should override the
username computed there.

(Ideally, EXTERNAL authentication would be offered in the presence of a
--tunel-user argument even if APR_HAS_USER is not true. But I'm not
entirely sure how to arrange for that, and you don't need to worry about
it.)
