Okay, here's the most recent version of my experimental /dev/clipboard
stuff. I'm gonna have to leave off for a while, but I wanted to post it
here so it'd be available if anybody wants to play with it. It compiles
(*) but be warned: the compiled kernel hangs -- this may or may not be
related to the clipboard patch itself.

(*) There are a few build problems with the CVS version of winsup --
that's why there haven't been any snapshots since June 25. DJ & Chris
are working on fixing that. I was able to --build-- by playing a few
games with stuff unrelated to /dev/clipboard. Those 'games' are not
included in the patch below.

Anyway, I'd wait a day or so until the regular CVS version of cygwin is
buildable, and the snapshots show up again, and then start playing with
this stuff.

So, FWIW, here ya go:

contains both a patch and a new file, fhandler_clipboard.cc, that should
be copied into winsup/cygwin. Both are pasted in plaintext below the uue
file.
