    (1) Modify selection_data_to_lisp_data (in xselect.c) to
        simply return a unibyte string generated from selection
        data while putting text property `foreign-selection'
        (value is a symbol of type).  This property is to
        distinguish it from the return string of
        x_get_local_selection.  This property is also used to
        decode it properly.

Would it work to return a cons cell (STRING . CODING-SYSTEM)?
That is a little cleaner, I think, than using a text property.
