For this to be really useful you would need to define a set of
characteristics and then gauge each library against it.  That would
then provide objective data to sift through, rather than woolly
better/worse subjective opinions.
Things like:
- licence (BSD, GPL2, GPL3, etc)
- implementation language (C, C++, PIC Asm, etc)
- code footprint (kB)
- runtime storage footprint (kB)
- supported MIDI features:
   - realtime
   - MIDI modes (omni on/off, mono, poly)
   - SysEx
   - (N)RPN
and so on.

A googledocs spreadsheet would be a start.
