The observant reader is perhaps wondering what's this /dev/clipboard. I'm working on Cygwin; that's a special device file that Cygwin makes available, that's all.

Well, Today I Learned about a neat feature of Cygwin's command line shell. I just looked in my /dev directory (under Ubuntu) and didn't find /dev/clipboard .. but for Linux, that would probably be better implemented as something under ~ (the current user's home directory), for security reasons.

Oh no. Another idea for a cool project. :/
