I'm curious how one writes software to link in as an exchange. I haven't read the Bitcoin code throughly, but I'm not sure if I understand how to initiate a transaction with the network. Is there anywhere that documents it well?

The usual method is interfacing with bitcoind via the JSON-RPC interface: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC) There's also bitcoinj: https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/ https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/

    They're using 3rd parties like Dwolla for that.
