Basically, the way I got VSTs to work is as follows:

Install WINE  (I used the FC5 RPMs)
Download the VST SDK  (not exactly sure where this is now, but I can
get you the ZIP file if you need it...)
Download the latest Ardour source tarball
Copy the VST SDK zip into ardour-*/lib/fst (or something like that)
Compile Ardour with the VST=1 flag

Then, you place your VST DLLs in /usr/local/lib/vst, and that's it.
When Ardour starts up, it will "check out" the VSTs in this folder.
Having weird/dysfunctional VSTs can prevent Ardour from starting up,
so it's a good idea to load them in one at a time.
