* Merge from host-factory-stuff branch: this adds several helper classes in
  the hostext directory that should make a host's life much easier.  This
  will become version 1.1 of the SDK, eventually.

+     * to handle any mismatch between the number of channels of audio
+     * the plugin can handle and the number available in the host.
+     * This enables a host to use plugins that may require the input
