Expanding select-active-regions capabilities in a controlled manner on w32. A few weeks back, there was some confusion as to what it was for*, and some valid criticism of the X11-specific nature of its implementation. I said I'd try to look at cross-platform-ising it better while allowing it to (optionally!) affect clipboard as well as primary as Eli desired, and I am doing so. However, I have no access to microsoft windows, so seeing if emacs built under wine was an interesting approach. And... turns out it does, pretty much. Very slow going though, it may be another week before I feel like revisiting it for the next step. * propagating active region contents to the primary X11 selection without affecting the clipboard X11 selection or kill-ring.
