A Vamp plugin set consists of a single dynamic library file
with .dll, .dylib, or .so
extension (depending on your platform), plus optionally a category
file with .cat extension and an RDF description file
with .ttl or .n3 extension.

above. (N.B. When using 32-bit plugins on 64-bit Windows, some
hosts will check for the VAMP_PATH_32 environment
variable instead of VAMP_PATH.)
