Get the new parts of the public API ready for publishing

[romaricpascal]

Brief

Wrap up the work on component initialisation (error callback for initAll, preventing double initialisation) and get a base component class in shape for publishing in our next release. This also includes making sure we've got the docs ready to go so we can tell people how to start using them.
