It may work only for AU, but it works great and so you just do it and
then, if you're doing e.g. VST too, do the "VST way" for the VST version.
It's really not a big deal, and you've got to expect to do some extra work
to support multiple formats. Or save yourself that needless extra work
and just do an AU plugin since virtually every host supports AU anyway and
those that don't have promised it, whereas tons of hosts don't support
VST and never will, it's becoming quite an irrelevant format in OS X.
