Hello!
Happy new year everyone!
Thought I'd let you know that I've finally managed to put up Symbiosis on http://code.google.com/p/symbiosis-au-vst/ . Symbiosis first came to life back in 2004 when I decided to port MicroTonic to AU (and I wanted a more scalable solution than porting every future product "manually" ). The plan was always to release it as open source but it took me until now(!) to finish some rudimentary documentation, test projects, build-scripts and stuff. Meanwhile it has been used in a bunch of products already, including Addictive Drums and most recently Cytomic's The Glue.
I won't go into fine details on the design here since you can read more on the project's wiki page (and in the documentation from the distribution package). Basically Symbiosis lets you transform a VST to an Audio Unit by simply adding a few source code files to your project. This will actually make the same binary compatible with both formats simultaneously! Then there are a few configuration files and "vendor-specific VST extensions" that allows you to fine-tune the result and create feature complete AU's.
Hope you like it and let me know if you have any use for it.

I just heard about this (a bit late for me, as I've purchased a Juce license). Sounds cool!
Anyone have any thoughts about how hard it would be to extend this to RTAS?
