Image cut-n-paste; Mac clipboard plugin

When I started to implement the GDK clipboard functionality I was hoping there was better support for it in the win32 GDK backend.

Thinking a bit more on it, adding support for cut&paste of images to gdk/win32 would probably not be hard at all. Much code from winclipboard.c can be reused. For interoperability with other Windows apps one presumably should store/accept image data in/from the Windows Clipboard in the predefined "CF_DIB" format (DIB == "device-independent bitmap"; basically an in-core BMP I think).

I doubt I have time to do it before going on vacation for three weeks next Saturday, though. Hans or somebody else wanna try?

The first thing to do then would be to add a GdkPixbuf module for the "CF_DIB" format. It can be bundled with GIMP in the Win32 installer.
