The tableaux interact with the GUI via the adaptor, so you'll have to
have one of them. What you want is definitely supported, but perhaps
no-one has tried it recently with Qt. The general way to do this is to
instantiate the adaptor (impl/qt/vgui_qt_adaptor) and insert it into
the appropriate Qt frame or panel or whatever. vgui_qt_adaptor is a
QtWidget, so it should fit in nicely. This adaptor will then talk to
the tableaux.

It's been done with MFC. There is an example in
vgui/examples/mfc_example. The code may be quite dated, though.
