Maybe you want to just replace the lua module in wxLua with your own version.

Are people going to be compiling things against wxLua and/or your
lib/program or just using the executable of your program. If the
latter, why not just statically link it?
Remember, even if you distribute the libs, you also have to provide
the wxWidgets headers...

Yes, see above.

Use the build files in apps/build/msw

Do people need your libs to link to? They must use the exact same
version of the compiler you're using, a nearly impossible feat on
linux and probably pretty hard to guarantee in MSW since you can't
control the releases of mingw.

You're asking a lot to be able to distribute "ready to go" libs for
people. It sounds nice, but a good build systems would be better. That
is unless you're only targeting a small audience.
Hope this helps,
