The MUC upstream source includes two scripts that can help with this:
roomname.pl: Takes a list of jids and returns the sha1 hash. Used
as the room filename for the spool
roommaker.pl: Allows you to create predefined persistent rooms
without first starting the service
These are not currently included with the package. I will add them to
the documentation area of the next udpate, or if there's enough interest
I could put them in a jabber-muc-util package.
The author talks a bit about these here:

I don't use conferencing very often, and when I have it's been a dynamic
room on my server.
