When I revived the MS-DOS port 2 years ago, I had a good reason not to load common-win.el. I tried, and it caused trouble, so I removed it from loadup.el and left behind a comment (which admittedly lacks details). I could try that again, if it's important, and report the problems it causes, if any are left. That said, I don't understand why selection-related stuff belongs to *-win.el. It has nothing to do with window systems; it's quite possible that text terminals will be able to access selections (and I understand some of them already do). What will we do then--load common-win.el on a tty as well? So how about finding a better home for that stuff? Like frame.el or mouse.el, for example?
