Wouldn't it be a good idea to implement linvst as a vst shell?

It would know that the windows plugins didn't change (through it's own saved list), and reaper would rescan it when it sees that it has been updated. No more copying the .so to the same name as the .dll. You could even implement a single vst host on the wine side (for each prefix) that the linux side would establish connection to. Probably less overhead, and shorter load/scan times too.

In my above post regarding the wineserver I didn't really explain what the commands do.

"wineserver -p" preloads the wineserver and "wineserver -k" kills it.
