Eventually, but I'd prefer to not reimplement perfectly good existing
code that is enabled by default.

Actually, it's the other modules that need to be compatible with Lua
and wxLua since the Lua Makefile default is LUA_COMPAT_ALL and I would
assume that OS packagers would respect the Lua Makefile and keep it
enabled. If you're correct, this means that these libraries won't work
using a default system Lua library?

Can you explain why these other modules cannot work with
LUA_COMPAT_ALL enabled? Are they providing their own duplicate
versions of Lua's functions and you get linker errors?

Also, can you explain line 25 here?
