I meant people who are simultaneously releasing a plugin as VST, AU, RTAS
and GMPI - they have to handle things differently. If GMPI is radically
different than "I got some MIDI - now I'll parse it", then they need to make
big differences. But I *don't* think it is a bad thing. It's just
progress, and progress hurts sometimes. Especially when you have to support
the old way AND the new way.
