XEP-0114 defines component connections.

Swiften (http://swift.im/swiften) supports component connections, and
is used by the main C++ transport project (Spectrum -
http://spectrum.im) these days.

You might also consider talking to the Spectrum project, and see if
you can save yourself some work by resusing their code. I think you
should need to only implement the code to connect to the other network
if you use their 'libtransport'.
