This looks like a good approach to me: it doesn't require to throw away 
the wxModule(s) currently present and can be easily encapsulated in a 
black-box macro like USE_MODULE :)

There is only a drawback: the 'dummy' var is in this case a 
wxart2d_Binding, but if I understood, one would also need to create a 
wxlua_Binding and wxluastc_Binding (or equivalent).
How big are those classes ? If they take much memory it could be a 
problem...
including just a simple structure (like a simple INT variable declared 
in the wxbind.lib and wxbindstc.lib libraries) could not work with all 
compilers: some of them could 'see' that you are using just that INT and 
keep it while still throwing away all the rest of the code.

Sorry for my poor advices in this area but I still need to understand 
exactly how wxLua works :)
