[LAU] LADSPA SDK: plugin access with analyseplugin

Hi LADSPA experts and tinkerers,

Julien Claassen observed that the LADSPA
SDK program 'analyseplugin' doesn't seem to return
output for some plugins.

For example, Fons Adriaensen's plugin G2reverb.

        $ analyseplugin G2reverb

        Failed to load plugin "G2reverb": G2reverb: cannot open
        shared object file: No such file or directory

In my Debian system, the plugin is named g2reverb.so. I
discovered that if I rename it to be G2reverb.so and try
again:

        $ analyseplugin G2reverb

        Plugin Name: "Stereo reverb"
        Plugin Label: "G2reverb"
        Plugin Unique ID: 1950
        Maker: "Fons Adriaensen <fons.adriaensen@email-addr-hidden>"
    ....

So it looks like analyseplugin needs to lowercase
the plugin label before searching for it.

I tried recompiling the LADSPA-SDK and see
the same behavior.

Couldn't that be fixed with just a bit-shift somewhere?
I wonder if someone could provide a patch.

It matters to me, because my project, Nama,
uses analyseplugin to get information about
available plugins. Processing text from a pipe
is much easier for Perl and myself than some
clever C-XS-fu to get the same information.
Even renaming all the files in /usr/lib/ladspa
would be easier.

Regards,

Joel
