That tutorial is a good place to start (it's where I started) but it leaves out 
a lot of implementation detail. I was frustrated by the process, so I created a 
[reference][1] to try and help others in the future.

It looks like the link to the dev version is dead. I'll keep [this copy][2] up 
for a couple of days so you can get it. (Note that this is ß54. I think the 
newer versions on GitHub like ß58 are built with the headers included and 
should work for building plug-ins. If not, and you want the newer version, you 
can build it from source. I don't think there are any compatibility differences 
for plug-ins between the two, but there are some problems with proxy objects in 
the new version which is why I don't use it.)

If you have any questions, e-mail me via the list or directly.
