Will do, but I am currently focused on making example plugins of a
slightly more advanced nature (in particular, demonstrating persistence,
use of files, and control via messages).

In previous releases, there was one (lv2jack). However, I've decided to
move this to a separate project and make it a bit more powerful to serve
as an actually useful and correct host while remaining smallish.

Coming soon, dubbed Jalv (_Ja_ck _LV_2):
http://svn.drobilla.net/lad/trunk/jalv/

Personally I think plugin examples are far more needed, since anyone
writing a host is inherently going to know how to look at a library API
and figure out how to use the thing anyway. I deliberately keep my
libraries separate from anything "official" LV2.
