I would prefer if we can negotiate an agreement
with Steinberg for re-distribution of their
headers. It would cut on the complication involved
in the other solutions offered here.

Would it be possible to compile the headers for
the VST
separately, and then link them as a external library?
Audacity does this with LAME. It can use the library,
but you just have to download a separate binary. It's
not the best solution
from a software libre standpoint,
but might avoid the issues of licensing.
Interesting...
AFAIK, this would still require each end-user to deal with
downloading SDK from Steinberg before compiling the lib.
So, yes, it would make it easier when dealing with
multiple VST-dependent apps, but it would still not
alleviate the overhead like the arrangement we are
currently hoping for. In addition, it would prevent
distributions from pre-packaging the lib making the
out-of-box experience likely less "polished" (although
granted, we could shrink-wrap the entire process via some
kind of an user-friendly post-install process). Perhaps
this could be our plan "C"?
Anyone else care to comment?
