No, I'm not working on this.  No time.  Feel free to post a
feature request on Savannah first.

That second cut function (that removes something without affecting
the cutbuffer) should be made first -- <Del> and <Bsp> will want to
use it when something is marked.  Or rather: when something is soft
marked (shift-selected).  Maybe we can get away without an extra
option: Pico doesn't know Shift-selection, so people who are used
to Pico will set the mark before making a selection, and in that
case <Del> and <Bsp> should continue to delete single characters.
But when something is shift-selected... they could delete the
selection.
