But I thought I read some mention in the VST SDK manual about
linux plugins being '.so', which would imply they at least acknowledged
its use in that platform. It might have been unix rather than linux.

I don't like the idea of touch the sdk headers; I thought really they
should work out of the box.
steinberg did not write the VST SDK headers to work with gcc. they did
port to IRIX, and so there are a couple of hints of unix-land
compatibility (e.g. avoiding the use of "main" as an exported symbol).
however, you need to accept that these headers target only windows and
osx compilers, not linux ones.
