2.) It's an AviSynth plug-in
3.) It's a VirtualDub plug-in
It is also a CSRI library since some years ago, and that is what Aegisub uses to interface with it. (CSRI = Common Subtitle Renderer Interface.)
Since Aegisub does not depend on the DShow, Avisynth or VDub interfaces, it can potentially use a VSFilter without those, and that is exactly what Aegisub 2.1.9 will be doing, for two reasons: The first is to make the download smaller (vsfilter.dll from 1 MB down to 140 kb) and the second is to make it simpler for me to build.

My point: From Aegisub 2.1.9 and forward, you will not be able to copy vsfilter.dll from Aegisub and use that for anything else.
