Hi,  One of the things I didn't like about using VIM with cygwin, is that 
although it's integrated with the posix layer, you didn't have access to the 
win32 clipboard.

I've reused the clipboard handling code in os_mswin.c and had to make some 
minor modifications in a few other files.

My goal was that if vim was compiled in the cygwin environment that it would 
include win32 clipboard handling, but if you also included X support that you 
would only have X clipboard handling.  However, I'm not quite there yet.  

I did test it out that I can copy UTF8 data back and for between the clipboard, 
and haven't seen any issues.

The folks on the cygwin mailing list mentioned that it would seem best if these 
changes could get put into the vim baseline, rather than a set of cygwin patchs.

Please let me know what you think,
Thanks Frodak
