Description

I searched issues and couldn't seem to find anything, is it possible to just add the Kue UI to my existing application?

For instance

```
var restify = require('restify');
var kue = require('kue');
var server = restify.createServer({
name: 'my-app',
version: '1.0.0',
});

// Setup Server
server.use(restify.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.pre(restify.fullResponse());
server.use(restify.dateParser());
server.use(restify.queryParser());
server.use(restify.jsonp());

// Send Kue UI routes to Kue
server.use('/kue', kue.ui);

// My actual routes:
server.blahblah()

server.listen( process.env.PORT || 8080 );
```

Research direction

Start at the kue.ui entry point and the Restify server.use('/kue', kue.ui) example in the issue. Check how Kue UI routes are mounted and whether the existing application can serve them under /kue; done means the UI loads at that path without breaking the application's other routes.
