Very cool -- thanx for the hard work.

Installed fine on my Fedora 10 system, after I removed the old 
lv2dyparam, and configured everything with --prefix=/usr

On loading the zynadd plugin into zynjacku, and clicking the UI 
checkbox, the status bar reports "Failed to construct show synth UI", 
even though the UI _does_ actually work.

Loading lv2 version of plugin,org.uk's plugins into lv2rack causes it to 
crash with a SIGSEGV, but calf plugins work fine, so it's probably a 
plugin-specific problem, rather than the host.

Will enjoy using this "nunchaku weapon".
