Thanks.  I decided to go with something a little less official sounding
for ya.

D.A.P.S - Digital Audio Plugins Streamlined

https://github.com/mfisher31/daps/

pkg-config names  are  daps-plugin-x.y and daps-gtkui-x.y .  sooner or
later an optional support lib will come around.  that will be plain
daps-x.y .

Over the weekend and throughout today, I've overhauled this thing to
where visually it is much cleaner and better organized.

Refactoring
 - Code shuffling and segmenting
 - Changed the code style (mine is similar to the stdc++ ) 
 - Public API continues to use camel cased class names 
 - Added a few MACROS that cleanup insane looking c++ templating

Fundamentally Complete: 
 - Worker - all function pointers connected
 - URID - all function pointers connected
 - Data Access - all function pointers connected
 - Headers present for all data-only exts

Fundamentals Partial:
 - State supports save and restore but not map and make path (yet). hpp

Not Quite Yet Supported:
 - Anything not part of the Official LV2 Specification
 - Extra Mixins segmented and mobbed into an "extras.hpp" header

Since Lars' original work was already stable... I'm staging up a 1.0.0
release on git hub until I get the time to make a little website. 
Folks using lv2-c++-tools shouldn't have to hard of a time switching to
this API if they want to.

And, as an extra-added bonus.  I whipped up the beginnings of an LV2 waf
bundler Tool (tools/waf/lv2.py)  .  This guy supports  so-renaming for a
plugin, and grabbing resources via an lv2_resources property.  If a
resource just so happens to have a "ttl.in" extension, it'll get
processed as a "subst" task.
