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.)
