Hi Ken,
Have you tried ecasound?
Here you will find some auto-wah presets (this is what google came up
with but I believe that file is installed by default with ecasound).
I guess I tweaked it to my needs but it's been so long ago...

Hmm, thanks. Well after digging into it a bit, it seems as though a proper
"wah" effect is an LPF with a resonant peak at the rolloff point:

Apparently very easy to do in hardware (2 transistors, couple caps, and an inductor), but
I'm not sure where I'd find a LADSPA plugin with this particular frequency
response characteristic.
Looks like Rakarrack has a wah, and "alien wah" (from Zyn?) and an auto-wah of
its own. I'll try those instead.
