Libimobiledevice is an open source project to replicate most of iTunes'
functionality for managing devices. It has a lot of dependencies on other open
source projects, though, so it takes some patience to build it:
http://www.libimobiledevice.org/
usbmuxd is a small intermediary that multiplexes communication to the device,
as the name implies, so that multiple clients (iTunes, Xcode, iPhoto, etc.),
can access the device without contending for the USB interface. The project
http://git.marcansoft.com/?p=usbmuxd.git includes a usbmuxd replacement and
client library, as a starter.
However, these projects are all C-based and unsupported, so probably not
appropriate for this list.
