If the user is looking to embed Soya in a QT or GTK app, they can probably handle getting events from QT or GTK. My limited experience says it isn't that hard; you just have to know where the documentation on it is (admittedly, that might be a bit of a trick for those new to programming).
If all they need is windowed instead of fullscreen, then maybe soya should be adjusted...
