to support your point, paul (which i find amusing), i wonder why someone would 
insist on using VST binaries. most of them are unstable and each one has its 
own interpretation of what the standard looks like. the result is a lot of 
hacked win32 hosts that most of the time only run 80% of all available 
plugins.

i'd rather want to use plugins where i can make the developer fix a bug when 
it comes up - and where the developer is actually willing to do so. because 
we both want to hurt commercial software developers. that makes us 
brothers :P
