Ugh. :)

The problem with the GL and other libraries are that you cannot select
them if you build in a GUI like MSVC. So, to some extent it's easier
to have them on since I would imagine that it's easier to remove the
-lwxlibglxyz line than try to add it back.

If I remember correctly the problem is that the build files DO specify
the GL lib, but that you haven't built it? If this is the case then
it's easy;
1) Edit the build file you use and just remove the linking dependency
for the GL lib.
    This takes a little bit of digging, but it shouldn't be hard,
search for "GL"
2) Edit modules/wxbind/setup/wxluasetup.h and put "wxLUA_USE_wxGLCanvas 0"
3) Don't call wxLuaBinding_wxgl_init()

Hope this helps,
