I'm still listed as the maintainer of this and I declare it obsolete.
I'm not going to maintain it anymore and it doesn't need to exist
anymore, so please remove it from the distribution.
Harold, I recall that there was an issue with "XWin -clipboard -query",
where in certain circumstances the clipboard thread didn't have permission
to connect to the X server. This was one argument for having a separate
xwinclip application. Your comment above implies that this issue is fixed
in the newer X releases, right?
