 wx is composed of several libraries. One of them is wxBase which contains
only non-GUI classes. If your application only uses it, it doesn't link to
any GUI libraries at all.

 If you want an application to run both in GUI mode and without GUI you
need to simply avoid initializing the GUI part at run-time.
