The .so file is a Linux shared object file containing the DSSI synth
itself, and the files in the folder with the same basename are GUI
programs that can be used to control the synths (and are started
automatically by some hosts). You can not "convert" a VST DLL for
Windows into a DSSI plugin - there are wrappers like dssi-vst that will
act as an interface between a DSSI host (e.g. Rosegarden) and a VST
plugin, but they depend on Wine and are thus not that reliable. Unless
you have some VSTs that you really need I would recommend that you try
using native Linux synths instead.
