What about using lines+arcs on the solder layer to represent the wiring
of the breadboard?  Placing through-hole parts would then connect fine
to the lines/arcs on the solder layer, IMHO.  The (black) paths would
then be routed on the component layer.  That way no special footprints
would be needed and even DRC might be possible.  The only drawback I
see with this approach is that paths along the breadboard paths would
be doubled: one goes on solder, the other on component side.
