* Description
=xclipboard= integration layer.

** Features:
- adds copy support to the X-clipboard from the terminal.
- adds paste support to the X-clipboard from the terminal.

* Requirements
This layer depends on a few platform-specific command-line tools:
- on OSX, this layer calls =pbcopy=
- on Windows, this layer calls =clip.exe=
- on GNU/Linux systems, this layer relies on =xsel= to be available.

Note that =xsel= might not be installed by default on e.g. Ubuntu systems.
