People tend to have fancy ideas ;)

If there is **any** change to upstream ladspa.h we should update our
own copy.

That's not going to happen. First of all, there is no upstream ladspa.h.

Secondly, ladspa.h hasn't changed since 2002, and even then

it was common to include ladspa.h. Even alsa-lib included ladspa.h.

 

Furthermore I am afraid that bundling ladspa.h could be the begin of
bundling even more dependencies.

It's hardly a dependency. It's a header file with almost no content, except

for a lot of comments.
