Hi. I've been getting errors with this plugin for some time now.

lilv_world_load_file(): error: Error loading file 
`file:///usr/lib64/lv2/gx_colwah.lv2/manifest.ttl'

error: failed to open file /usr/lib64/lv2/gx_wah.lv2/gx_colwah.ttl (No 
such file or directory)

It looks like an oversight bug, missing the manifest.
See if the author chimes in here...

Tim.
