Or make sure you don't need any module level init().
At least for LADSPA, all required structs can easily
be defined statically. It's done like that in all my
plugins, none of them have an init() or equivalent.

Regarding calling activate() before the port pointers
are valid, it indeed seems like the LADSPA spec does
allow this. The AMB set will be modified accordingly.
