+The Vamp API doesn't officially specify how to load plugin libraries
+or where to find them.  However, good practice for a host is to use

+(depending on platform), loading each one and testing for the
+vampGetPluginDescriptor function to enumerate the plugins in this
+object.  The example host has some code that may help.
