Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help test a patch that integrates vim
with the windows clipboard.  I.E enabling the +clipboard option and *
register.  This only applies when compiling vim to be used via
console/rvxt, not when trying to use X (as it has its own clipboard
manager).

I've been using it for awhile and haven't had any issues.  But before
it will be accepted it requires a few more people to try it out.

I realize that this is probably off-topic for this mailing list, so
please post to the vim-dev list if you have any issues or to report
that you haven't had any problems.

The patch can be found here:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-02/msg00033.html

The original thread on the vim-dev list archives is here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vimdev/message/46124

I've been using the following steps to compile the patch:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/sbin
--localstatedir=/var --datadir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --with-features=huge --without-x
--enable-gui=no
make
make install

Thanks,
Frodak
