Yes, I have still to write some extra functions to look at the
bindings from within lua, but I think that it should be possible to
get the property list from either C++ or lua.

See above.

Not really. The function to run is not found the first time, example
wxSize::GetWidth so "Width" is not found. A string is allocated, the
first 3 chars are set to 'G' 'e' 't' and the property name "Width"
copied into the rest of the string, then the function is looked up a
second time to see if that exists. It works the same for SetXXX
functions.
So, two function lookups instead of one. However, currently the
lookups linearly iterate through them. I think it should be easy
enough to turn this into a binary search which will make things much
faster. The property notation will be at most 2x slower, but probably
much lower. Previously, the function lookup searched for a property
first and when that failed it looked for a function, so the difference
now is that function calls are given precedence.

I've committed the changes, could you try again, thanks.
