Hello Thomas,
I am facing some problems compiling your vst-external: you write in the readme.txt to edit the vst.dsp-file: no matter what I edit (pathnames, flags ..) opening the file with MSVC6 states, that the file was not gererated by MSVC. I managed after some editing in the makefile.msvc to compile a vst~.dll getting the following output:

I can load vst~.dll, but it apparently doesn't do anything besides routing audio through on right channel only. Do you have any suggestions what cold be wrong? Why don't you include your *.dsw-file to the cvs? Wouldn't that help? I actually had problems with some of your makefiles of other externals (on windows) too, but somehow managed to get them running.
