To Pd list -

In case anyone else thought they could use vstplugin~ (By Hannes, available
from https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin) to load Camomile 
(https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile) -

I don't think it works.  Unless I'm misreading things, once Camomile calls
pd_init(), that call doesn't go to the pd_init that's compiled into
Camomile (via libpd) but instead calls pd_init from the Pd that called
vstplugin~ that called Camomile.  This does nothing, and the next thing libpd
tries to access in the Pd instance fails.

Here, Pure Data itself (the calling program) is compiled single-thread, and
libpd is compiled multi-thread; this means data structures in the two are
different so they can't call back and forth; anything in libpd had better
refer to its own version of things and not the calling program's.

Perhaps there's a way vstplugin~ could load the VST in such a way as to have
it only make calls back into vstplugin~ but not into Pd?  It's all a bit
confusing to me.  Anyhow, who would ever want to do this?  (Except actually
for complicated reasons I would :)
