my current plan:
   
 string potential_lcp_executable = LADSPA_PATH + '/' +  plugin_id +  ".lcp";

 if (access (potential_lcp_executable, X_OK)) {
        char *args[6];
        args[0] = potential_lcp_executable;
	args[1] = "--host";
	args[2] = my_lcp_host_name;
	args[3] = "--plugin";
	args[4] = some_local_identifier_for_plugin;	      
	args[5] = 0;
        fork_and_exec (potential_lcp_executable, args);
 }
  
any thoughts?
