The Windows clipboard is also analogous to the X11 primary selection,
in that copy/paste work on Windows through the clipboard.
In other words, when there's only one interprogram buffer to put
selected text, it is analogous to all the X selection facilities.
Anyway, I'm unconvinced. The MS-DOS port will copy to the clipboard
under select-active-regions. For the w32 build, I'd like to hear
other maintainers who work on the w32 build, but my opinion is that it
should do that as well.
