So if I understand correctly you want a midgard function that
establishes
the database connection leaving a situation much like the start of a
midgard page execution? Something like mgd_connect($host, $port,
$prefix)?
Would you expect this to also collect style information?

When a midgard page is marked 'active' it will collect what would
usually
be called PATH_INFO, breaking it up into elements separated by '/' and
stripping the trailing '.html' if present. These elements are then put
into
$argv.
I still don't fully understand what you need, but we'll get there.
