Just my two cents, but definitely not the right thing.
That's possibly a bit harsh. I think it's reasonable to say that based on
our experiences of LADSPA we know that's not the best way to go.
If the GUI is in a separate process and connected by e.g. OSC, it
could as well be on a machine that doesn't have the plugin files.
Or that has a different version of them (for perfectly good reasons).
To ensure consistency the GUI should get its plugin descriptions from
the host anyway. This works even with POL (Plain Old Ladspa).
