It's in Qt 4.2. There may be a workaround, depending on what you need. You'll
have to explain what you want to display, but it may not be possible to make
it look the same as in Qt 3.

Take a look at either the stretchLastSection property or setResizeMode()
method in QHeaderView. You can obtain the table's headers with the
horizontalHeader() and verticalHeader() methods.
