No it would work just like wxstc before we separated it, it's turned
off using wxLUA_USE_FL 0. So if you turned it back on in wxluasetup.h
you'd get linker errors if you didn't link to wxfl.lib or whatever
it's called.

You're probably right. I hate to remove stuff like that since it's a
lot of work to put it back, but the FL has been dead for some time
now. I keep seeing messages of something new on wx-dev, but I haven't
checked to see if that's materialized yet.

The plot.i file should also go into it's own directory. I see messages
on wx-users that people seem to use the plot widget every once in a
while. Maybe we should keep that, if nothing else it shows how easy it
is to make a binding for a outside library.
bindings/wxplot
modules/wxbindplot

I can do both of these things tonight, I can just clear out the files
(so it'll still compile) like I did before and when you rebake you'll
just have to remove the empty files.
