This looks great, Ned.  Do you know of any documentation to support which
buffer to use?  For example, do any of the official X docs have anything 
to say?

More to the point, is CLIPBOARD available everywhere?  If not, the autoconf
scripts need to set the buffer choice properly (and perhaps give the user
a way to override the choice.)
