Can you provide me any sample or suggested reading on how to set that up?

Sure. What evaluation boards do you have? If I have the same board, I'll modify an existing example for you.

How can I driver the synthesis with different configurations and name the images afterwords meaningful?
--- Quote End ---
Its got nothing to do with synthesis, you just copy the file to a new name :) Tcl commands can be used.

Can I directly us the generic parameter in if() statements in the timequest configuration file?

Sure. In some of my SDC files, I first look to see if a net exists, and then assign a constraint. This allows me to enable/disable features without having to edit the .sdc file.

What I'd also like to have in the image are human readable strings to be accessible as read-only storage on the computer interface. Is there any easier way to do that besides creating .mif files?

Why bother with strings in the image? You'll be using logic cells unnecessarily. If you are reading the registers directly, reading a vendor ID, product ID, and revision as hex values is adequate. This has served every USB device and PCI device out there quite well :) Ok, USB devices do have strings too.
If you want to store strings in RAM, then you have to use .mif files or Intel Hex files. I prefer the latter.
