There's no VST wrapper for scsynth because it's illegal. You can't link SC's
GPL code to VST's proprietary code base.

If your standalone instrument is GPL and written in some other language, you
can link libscsynth into it (but I don't know if anyone has done this, so
you might be pretty much on your own). Then users would not have to install
SC.

If you want users to run SC code that you've written, they need SC. On Mac,
there's a standalone template but that won't work for other platforms.
