There is a library named suil whose purpose is to allow an application to
require one UI toolkit and that application's plugins to require a different
UI toolkit.
The suil library itself has compiled plugins that enable different types of
embedding (qt4 in gtk2 and gtk2 in qt4 at the moment). These suil plugins
need to require two toolkits apiece: the toolkit that is being embedded and
the toolkit that is being embedded into.
suil is somewhat parallel to the spec - the host could instantiate
the plugin on its own (using lv2core) if it wanted to. I guess the
best way is to consider suil a helper library using lv2core which
saves the host from doing the heavy lifting.
So.. what is a host and what is lv2core?
A host is any application that instantiates an LV2 plugin - e.g. best
known examples are apps like qtractor or ardour. Although there are
others like lv2rack (which doesn't use suil). Eventually I think LV2
will be a drop in replacement for LADSPA plugins, but its not quite
there yet.
