If your only requirement is to be able to include aeffect.h and aeffectx.h, you should just be able to drop in the "vestige" headers from LMMS or dssi-vst. Doesn't matter whether it's intended to support Win32 or native Linux plugins. You won't get support for everything in VST, but a redistributable binary that supports much of it has got to be worthwhile, surely. The author claimed in LMMS list postings that these headers were reverse engineered from working VST host and plugin code without seeing the original SDK or accepting the Steinberg SDK license. Obviously I cannot know whether that is really the case, but judging from the code, I think it is plausible. Until anyone produces any evidence otherwise, I for one would be happy to give it the benefit of the doubt.
