OK, that is indeed a reasonable concern.

However, for the sake of effort consolidation, I'd like to offer a 
suggestion for discussion, if you will allow me.

Since all LV2 libraries are by design modular and lightweight so they 
can be used in embedded hardware, a middle ground could be adding a 
customized suil source tree to MusE's.

This way you could patch up MusE's copy of suil and have MusE statically 
linked to this latest and greatest version. Additionally you could send 
your patches to Dave, so they can benefit any other software using 
future suil releases (and MusE can benefit from Dave's work too). In the 
long term, once your fixes are merged upstream and are widely 
distributed, MusE's customized suil could be dropped in favor of the 
standard version.

Nevertheless, I understand there are other advantages in maintaining 
your own code (tighter integration with MusE's codebase, no need to 
coordinate with other developers, etc.)

Thanks again for your efforts. Cheers!

Luis
