another solution could be rename grrrrr's VST~ to plug~ and add DSSI/AU/LADSPA/etc support, since it is by far the best one out there but only runs on windows.. afaik the other ones cant even currently do the basics like query a plugin for all accessible paramaters..

at least thats what i'd do if i could code c++ and wanted to switch to mac or linux..
