The executable running the QML code must be a Go application, because
right now we cannot create a shared library out of Go code that can be
linked back into a C/C++ application.

There are patches already flying that enable it, but let's not count
on that for now as it's still incipient.

Sure, here is an example that may be run right now:

The APIs may still change a bit, but the idea will remain.
