an excellent question. i want to repeat and stress what is said within
Ardour, but probably not clearly enough:

	It is illegal to distribute binaries of a GPL'ed application 
        compiled with VST support.

Illegal, OK? Don't do it. We didn't ask for this situation, but its the
situation we have and nobody is going to be helped by people breaking
licensing agreements. I would remind distributors that if you break the
license in any way, you lose all ability to distribute a GPL'ed
application at all. So please, don't do it.
