Yes, a lot of the necessary information seems to be in the server
parameters.  Hm.  I think the best approach would be to add the other
nnir information to the server parameters, too, such that you can edit
a server then add a parameter `nnir-glimpse-home' or somesuch which
points to the right directory.

I have now added this to the todo list.
