How do I redirect shell (bash) output to the clipboard?

A utility called xclip is what you want; can take stdin to clipboard or
dump stdout from clipboard.
Except that it's not always available. There's nothing resembling it on
my Slackware system. There is "xclipboard", but it only views and saves
the clipboard...it doesn't read from stdin, or anywhere else.
You can get source at http://people.debian.org/~kims/xclip/
It also addresses briefly the issues with X "clipboards" you mentioned.
