If you can be confident that no line-breaking will be required,
you could use any standard technique for determining the width
of the text, then typesetting it \rlapped and overlaid by a
\raised (negatively speaking) box of the same width containing
\leaders of your desired underline style ...

If line-breaking is involved, consider LuaTeX !
