The 0.3.0 CAPS release actually comes with an rdf file supposed to 
label the enumerated int ports (the Cabinet model switches and the 
SweepVF filter modes).

I haven't tried it myself but as it was provided by someone who's 
using CAPS mainly in ardour I supposed it should work -- or does it 
not?

Re: caps.rdf in general --

Paul, your permission assumed I'll recycle some of your python code, 
to be run when making the CAPS 'dist' target. A better caps.rdf will 
thus be in 0.3.1 (coming to a theatre near you sometime this year).

Steve, are the dc:creator, dc:rights, dc:title tags necessary? Paul's 
caps.rdf simply copies the data found in caps.so -- is it possible to 
simply eliminate this redundancy?

Cheers, Tim
