Ah, hmm. It seems maybe this isn't the
disaster it seemed. I had a memory
that VST support on Linux was shaky and on dodgy legal footing, but perhaps
it's moved on or I've had the wrong end of the stick.
fairly sure that he was referring to this post:

My subscription lapsed a while back and
there were some problems getting
it set up again for some reason I forget. At the time I have up but the long
and short of it though is that I *should* be subscribing and so I've tried
again and it seems to be working now.

*Windows* VST on Linux is shaky and dodgy (requires Wine and special
compile of Ardour). I've verified that *Linux* VST (which are natively
compiled plugins like LV2) can be used without issue in some hosts, like
Ardour. I think they may work in MixBus also (not 100% sure on that, maybe
in the upcoming Mixbus3)

But there's still a problem here.
The vestige header is far from complete. For example it is missing several
flag definitions and some features that are found in the real header.
At what point would this header be completed - that is if it /can/ be legally?
What is the legality of using missing flag 'numbers' but with your own
flag names? Does it matter? Or no names at all, just the hard-coded numbers?
