It is a little obtuse, seems particularly complicated for what it has to do...

I'm not brave, I just want it to work.

These are the changes I made to "configure", however the real fix is
to do the same in "configure.in" I suppose. I just added the two lines
for wxUSE_MEDIACTRL and wxUSE_OPENGL below. This is used to set the
default 'wx-config --libs', see @CORE_GUI_LIBS@ in wx-config.in.
Perhaps there are more libs to do this for too?

...

if test "$wxUSE_AUI" = "yes" ; then
    CORE_GUI_LIBS="aui $CORE_GUI_LIBS"
fi
if test "$wxUSE_MEDIACTRL" = "yes" ; then
    CORE_GUI_LIBS="media $CORE_GUI_LIBS"
fi
if test "$wxUSE_OPENGL" = "yes" ; then
    CORE_GUI_LIBS="gl $CORE_GUI_LIBS"
fi

if test "$wxUSE_GUI" != "yes"; then
    CORE_GUI_LIBS=""
fi
