Excuse my curiosity, but whose government's permit to dig on the site
of GMPI did you have to obtain through bribing? :)

I'm a bit concerned about your stance towards portability of LV2.

Audacity used to have that problem with regards to an existing
implementation of LV2, and they had to disable the code completely,
along with (quite useful, IMHO) automatic classification of plug-ins
in menu (there was another reason for the latter, though). So I'm
curious if an extra layer is really that much required.
