FWIW, I use a local patch which does just that (i.e. when you kill
something, Emacs first checks if there's something on the external
clipboard, and if there is, it adds it to the kill-ring just before the
thing you kill).
The main downside is that copying the content of the clipboard from some
external application can occasionally take a while, so the code needs to
be careful to timeout sufficiently quickly, and even so, the small delay
can occasionally be annoying.
