Great, genwxbind.lua looks incredibly powerful (and cleanly written),
but I think I'm missing the big picture of what function calls what to
do what. Could you put a few comments in it when you get a chance.

Also, the enums don't respect the %if wxLUA_USE conditions, only the
%wxchkver ones that appear on the same line as the enum.

Thanks,
