DISTRHO looks interesting, but I was wondering maybe if my existing
VSTGUI code could somehow be used with the least amount of
adjustments. I guess since it's just a bunch of x,y offsets and basic
widgets it shouldn't be too hard to port to another toolkit, but I
don't have the free time I used to. But, I'll definitely consider it.
It's free, right? I didn't see a license so I'm guessing it'd be ok to
bake into my binary-only application (apologies if I just missed it).

I'm wondering if maybe downgrading VSTGUI and making the plugin
perfectly WINE-friendly (or winelib) would be an option. Anyone know
what the best VSTGUI version might be the best target for that? And
any opinions on the VSTGUI port found at jacklab.net?
