The only different commands are lv2-register and, to add the op:
-elv2:uri_of_plugin,param1,[...],paramN
You can use cop-* and copp-* for the rest.

If you have lv22 1.0, it should work automatically. If you have 0.5.0,
as I do, you need to edit /usr/include/lilv-0/lilv/lilvmm.hpp line 24 to
read:
static const char* uri_to_path(const char* uri) { return lilv_uri_to_path(uri);
}
(just make it static)
...then use --enable-liblilv when configuring to force lv2 support.

That's what I thought. However, if you want extra info, just like you
get from analyseplugin, you'll need to parse the output from a utility
like lv2info. Besides that, we would need to have a simpler way to refer
to the plugins than the ridiculously long URIs they use.

Like I said, it would definitely be cool, though not an absolute
must-have for me at this point. LV2 definitely seems to be the new
format of choice though...
