I even want you to consider a more generic approach for exposing extra
information. Add a (string) key/value array to the descriptor where you
can store such information (and be happy with the generic interface in
further versions, just define new standard key values). So at the end
of the ladspa descriptor add

   int nr_extras;
   struct { char *key; char *value; } *extras;

The category specification could then be "CATEGORY", "Whatever/It/Is".

Richard.
