The Iris 'xmpptest' program should contain the options you would want to 
clone.  The changes are mainly about the auto-connection stuff.

 - Get rid of the checkbox for enabling TLS.  Iris tries TLS by default, with 
automatic fallback to non-TLS.  Iris signals a warning if TLS is unavailable, 
and you'll want to display this information, and possibly offer an option to 
suppress it (you could even just call this option "Disable TLS", which could 
also tell Iris to not even bother).
 - There should be a 'Legacy TLS probe' option, which means to try port 5223 
for old-style TLS before before falling back to SRV or port 5222.  This 
should be on by default, but the power users may want to turn it off.
 - Manual host/port should not be accessible unless the probe is disabled.
 - Manual host/port should have a TLS option.  This is needed if you're trying 
to connect to an old-style TLS service that is not running on port 5223.
 - Add the extra security settings: 'require mutual auth' and SASL SSF 
(Security Strength Factor).  Both of these settings only take effect when 
using a SASL-based login, otherwise they are ignored (this might be 
misleading to a user, so if Iris signals that it is connecting to an old 
server when these options are set, Psi should probably close the connection).
