Two things in the build instructions were wrong rather than merely thin.
The stated output paths (`nih_plug_template.vst3`) are not what the
bundler produces: `cargo xtask bundle` names artifacts from the `name` key
in bundler.toml, so a fresh clone actually yields `Plugin Name.vst3`.
Anyone following the deploy steps verbatim would copy a path that does not
exist. The VST3 artifact is also a directory bundle, so the `cp` needed
`-r` to work at all.
The egui editor pulls in baseview and x11, whose build scripts abort on a
missing `gl.pc` with a pkg-config error that says nothing about this
project. Naming the packages up front turns a confusing first-build
failure into a one-line fix.
