ah. misread that (misled by context).  Things you actually _kill_  I 
would expect to be on the clipboard. Things you merely select so that 
they are visibly highlighted, not so much - it's that latter behaviour 
Eli wanted on w32, and what happens if you turn on 
x-select-enable-clipboard on X11 without turning off mouse-drag-copy-region.
