Doe anybody know of a C++ library or tutorial having to do with using VST plugins: i.e. how to write a program that uses VST plugins?

My suggestion to you is first to write a VST plugin and then "reverse-engineer" the format that it uses (it's pretty trivial considering it's just a dynamic link library with a set of predefined functions - the real challenge may lie in writing an automatic GUI wrapper that will allow you to load plugins that do not that their own GUI components). Have a look here for a tutorial on how to go about writing a plugin.

Hopefully this helps.
