We have callable fixed-rate note in <ql/experimental/callablebonds>, but
not floating-rate.  If you want to give it a try, you could look at the
way the floating-rate leg is computed in the DiscretizedSwap class
(<ql/pricingengines/swap/discretizedswap.hpp>.)  You could do something
similar and add the redemption.  A harder problem would be to include
credit risk; you'd probably need two HW trees with the same structure
(one for forecasting, the other including credit for discounting.)
