/**
   @defgroup suil Suil

   Suil is a library for loading and wrapping LV2 plugin UIs.  With Suil, a
   host written in one supported toolkit can embed a plugin UI written in a
   different supported toolkit.  Suil insulates hosts from toolkit libraries
   used by plugin UIs.  For example, a Gtk host can embed a Qt UI without
   linking against Qt at compile time.

   Visit <http://drobilla.net/software/suil> for more information.
