[emacs-w3m:13155] [emacs-w3m/emacs-w3m] New feature: copy links to OS clipboard (#12)

+ IMPORTANT: See below for 'issues'...

+ New function w3m--send-to-gui-clipboard

+ New defcustom w3m-gui-clipboard-commands

+ Feature applied to existing functions that copy link
  information to the emacs kill-ring.
  + w3m-print-current-url
  + w3m-print-this-url
  + w3m-print-this-image-url
  + w3m-lnum-print-this-url

+ New docstrings for some functions

+ ISSUES

  + BUG! I'm still having trouble getting defcustom to do
    what I want. In this case, customize-variable
    improperly displays the car of each cons cell as the
    first radio button on the list.

  + MISSING INFORMATION! I'm only familiar with linux, so I
    wasn't able to populate w3m-gui-clipboard-commands for
    other operating systems. Even if someone gives me a set
    of command strings, I have no way of testing them.

  + Tsuchiya-san recently expressed interest in a 'private
    browsing' mode for emacs-w3m.

    + This feature does make browsing a little less private
      in that anything copied to the emacs kill-ring is
      shared with the OS clipboard.

    + I can easily set a configuration value for the
      feature, but it might be more forward-thinking to
      label that value generically as something like
      w3m-private-mode instead of something specific like
      w3m-kill-ring-copies-to-os-clipboard.

    + It might just be best to wait until there exists a
      more detailed specification or expectation of what
      some private-mode would offer. For example, it may be
      decided to allow the copies, and upon exit to clear
      both the emacs kill-ring and the OS clipboard.
