Damon - fantastic work. really great stuff.

I'd just like to remind LADSPA (and LV2) plugin authors that use of
init() for module-level initialization has been deprecated for some
time. Plugins should mark the module-level init function with

   __attribute__((constructor))

and the cleanup function formerly known as fini() as

  __attribute__((destructor))

failure to do this pretty much guarantees plugin crashes on OS X and
other platforms that dropped init+fini support years ago.
