thoughts on drag and drop events

[John M McIntosh]

The clipboard support is easier given we're doing it in FFI for now.  
We can iterate over the types and make decision in Smalltalk code
The drag and drop is more difficult because it's handled mostly by  
the VM. Although we could pass up the drag info and invoke FFI
let me think on that a bit, especially if we want some backward  
compatibility.
