It should be noted that IR does some terrible kludges for saving state
that make it impossible to store its state portably (it saves to a
config file in a location unknown to the host and saves a hash into that
file across several float control ports).

However, the new LV2 state stuff is specifically designed to allow
self-contained archival/export with any session manager[1].  Hopefully a
future version of IR will move to it.  I don't know anything about NSM's
facilities for export/archival, though.

[1] My preferred implementation is using symlinks to refer to external
files, so any tool, even tar -h, can archive correctly.  KISS.
