An interesting experiment might be to write a VST

around LV2.
The interesting things about this would be:
* LV2 support in apps like reaper is (at least partially) present
* a lot of open source LV2 plugins get a larger userbase (which might
contribute to the plugin's quality, and maybe also to the adoption of LV2).
* It could also serve as an example for people that are used to writing
VST or AU plugins on how to write LV2 plugins. Some sort of
'documentation by equivalence' or so.
* It might reveal some design issues with LV2 (if there are any :))
I would rather see a VST-like header that actually compiles to an LV2
plugin. It would making porting of open source VSTs easier, and
probably get used by anyone used to writing VST plugins who wants to
write an LV2.
