Take look at the code:

https://code.launchpad.net/~jjmartinez/deja-dup/coudfiles-custom-auth-url

It's a WIP, although it's a simple change and you can probably take it
from there faster and better than me!

This I'll try to do when I have some time:

 - Improve the UI (the drop-down with US/UK/Custom sounds great!)
 - May be adding a (and compatible) string in the Rackspace selector
would be a good idea, although it's not important (OpenStack users
*know* Cloud Files is compatible)
 - I'm not sure how the URL parsing works and what would happen if the
user enters a malformed URL
 - I haven't added any test! (naughty!)

If you want an OpenStack compatible storage, my employer has a free
package. Let me know and I can provide you privately a link (I don't
want to abuse the mailing list).

Kind regards,

Juan
