Pass. The docs say
"unsigned long UniqueID: This numeric identifier indicates the plugin
type uniquely"
I have a vague recolection that you can have two plugins with the same ID
as long as they have the same ports, and that you shouldn't have two
plugins with different ports and the same ID. I've been using the excuse
that none of mine are *actually* released yet, as I have been tweaking
the ports.
I may just have remebered wrong though.
