bibtex style question

I have a BibTeX style hacking question, and am hoping the community at large can help me out.

Here's the problem: I have a set of names of authors. I wish to make two bibtex style files, such that

• In style file 1 (S1) any paper including someone in this set of authors will be rendered normally
• In style file 2 (S2) any paper including someone in this set of authors will be rendered with the author name underlined. 

My current hack was to do the following. I created two versions of a 'names.bib' file. In both files, the names are stored as @strings, and in the second version, the strings are encoded as underlined i.e using \underline{name}.

In my master bib file, the names are entered merely as the string value, so if I stored a name as

@string{me = "Suresh Venkat"}  or @string{me = "\underline{Suresh Venkat}"}

I merely enter the author name as

author = {..other names... # me # .. other names}

While this works, the problem is that bibtex doesn't know (obviously) that the string 'me' needs to be formatted as a name, and so I get ugliness like

"Author, A., Author, B., Suresh Venkat and Author, C. " 

in the final bbl instead of

"Author, A., Author, B., Venkat, S. and Author, C. "

 Now I didn't expect my solution to work, but I don't know what will. Any ideas ?
