Just to give you a fair warning, if you do the following you may not
get all the data in your reports that you want, because Analytics
relies on Cookies for a lot of things. You could potentially track
that yourself in a PHP session (based on their user=12), but I leave
that as an excersize to the reader.
The most important thing you'll need to do is make your C++ client
load an image (it doesn't have to render it, or even do anything with
it, just call the URL with your HTTP GET function). The parameters in
the URL for that image contain all the data that is sent back to GA to
track the user.
Here's the URL
