Thank you! This is great.

I've attached a modified version, which is more generic. Instead of copying to
the clipboard, it saves a copy of the text into a file named qemu-clip.txt
(in the working directory of qemu). Should work on all platforms. Needs a lot
of work (being able to specify the name of the file, append instead of 
overwrite,
etc.) but should make it easy to "cheat copy" (save it to a file and then copy
the text via a word processor).

I'll see if I can make it copy into the X clipboard directly (the entire
X clipboard system is built in a weird way though).

I'll try this soon.
