bug#18629: 25.0.50; Yanking text on a MS-Windows console

My version was from a recent trunk build (2014-10-02), made from an
empty build directory (autogen.sh+configure+make).  But it seems that
it is somehow corrupt.  I guess I should always use the "bootstrap"
target to be sure that the build is correct...

Yes, It seems so.  I've just built a recent trunk version, and this is
what I see:

1. Without your code below:
  a. The kill ring seems to work OK for "internal" text, i.e, text
     coming form Emacs itself.
  b. But I can't yank text from the system clipboard.

2. With your code below: Everything seems to work fine.
