UnBox, and build folder cleanups

Note that I am compelled to break VST builds on Windows because my build folders have had some files in 'em: you'll have to find those yourself. Here's hoping anyone trying to develop for Windows VST (or any VST) is able to find what they need, but I cannot help you set up a build environment, I can only give you my code for the audio part.

 	The Windows VST plugins are compiled on a Parallels 8.0 virtual machine that never sees the internet, running Windows 7.
 
-	Therefore, these instructions are nonsense to any proper Windows dev, but this is what I'm working from. The zip file included will make a folder called VSTProject, which has the guts of what's in the Windows build, excepting the plugin source files that make up the VST. I'm starting from the Mac build, so this process is just how to build cross-compilations from what's already a VST plugin. Here's what I do to make that happen.

Also note that the builds have been intentionally broken because Steinberg doesn't want you to develop VST2s, so you're on your own: originally these plugins contained a folder called vst2.x that contained the following files:

+	aeffeditor.h
+	audioeffect.cpp
+	audioeffect.h
+	audioeffectx.cpp
+	audioeffectx.h
+	vstplugmain.cpp
+
+	So you'll probably need those, and I can't give them to you :P
 
 	Disconnect the laptop from Ethernet and switch off AirPort so Windows can’t do anything evil to itself. Fire up Parallels and launch Windows 7 in a window on the desktop. Go to the Windows "Documents" folder so it's shown on the virtual desktop, and launch Visual Studio. At this point you can execute the following real fast.
