It's not really a GMPI plugin because it has no GMPI controls, just
some vague idea that it wants MIDI input. So you wrap it in a GMPI
skin. This GMPI skin has to know what MIDI parameters the internal MIDI
plugin expects, right?
<<<
Actually, what I had in mind was that there would also be MIDI as a
primitive data type for a control signal. So it's truly GMPI with a
GMPI skin, one control input data type = MIDI. Because it's a data
type, its optional. A host can see that it's MIDI data type and
instantiate the glue to talk to it.

Meta-data on the MIDI-typed control pin could provide this. It could do
via the MIDI namespaces, and XML based thing used by the MMA for
synthesizers to define themselves.

If we provide a way for a top-level GMPI plugin to have raw MIDI input,
then we've opened a can of worms. Other plugins will want to do that,
too.
<<<
I'm not sure this is true. If the GMPI control language is cleaner then
I think most new plugins would want to talk that.
