[PD] VST plugins in pd

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Pd is a programming environment for writing things like VST plugins,  
so I guess most Pd devs would rather write something Pd than use a  
VST.  But its also free software, so anyone who things VST support  
should be better should definitely work on it.

I think LADSPA and other free plugins are better supported.
