LuaPlus allows require "wxLua" and is built on compat-5.1.lua, although 
I'm sure it doesn't conform to every packing convention.  
VeryMinimal.wx.lua looks (almost) like this:

require "wxLua"

   frame = wx.wxFrame( wx.wxNull,
                       -1,
                       "Minimal Demo",
                       wx.wxPoint(-1, -1),
                       wx.wxSize(450, 450),
                       wx.wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE )
   frame:Show(wx.TRUE)

--wx.wxGetBaseApp():MainLoop()  or
wx.Run()


It can be grabbed from Subversion:

svn co svn://svn.luaplus.org/root/LuaPlus/Dev LuaPlus
