Thanks. I just tested xclip-mode from Elpa and it indeed works to get 
copy operations work with Terminal.app. I think the best path forward 
would be to just mention this package in the NEWS update as a workaround 
for folks using Terminal.app. We could also recommend using iTerm2 as a 
GPL'd alternative that properly supports copy. (Paste works fine because 
Terminal.app supports xterm bracketed pastes.)

Eli, does this sound good to you?
