This sounds like a great project!  I would recommend that you start with 
the latest version of Stage in git, instead of 3.2.2.  I believe the 
libstage API was cleaned up between 3.2 and 4.x. Forking Stage on github 
and creating a branch for qt development would probably be your best bet.

The Stage API is outlined at http://rtv.github.com/Stage/ but there is 
no real architecture or design document that I'm aware of.  Stage 
basically builds into 2 parts:
* libstage, a shared library, which contains all of the models, 
simulation logic, GUI code, config file parsing utilities, and opengl code.
* The "stage" binary, the main entry point, which consists of only 
main.cc.  It handles invoking libstage based on the command line 
arguments supplied to the program.

libstageplugin, the Player plugin driver, also invokes libstage when 
used, and hooks into the different models within libstage to accept 
input and feed output through the Player interfaces.
