Copy to clipboard

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to have a copy to clipboard option for pasting into e.g. Word.

The attached patch seems to mostly work for me - note that it doesn't include 
any UI changes, it just copies it to the clipboard as well.

It puts transparent PNG and white-backed bitmap on the clipboard; which is used 
depends on the program it pastes into. Office 2010 seems to use the transparent 
png; paint uses the white-backed bitmap.

I based the code on the following article which notes the difficulty of 
transparent images on the clipboard:

Sorry, haven't been keeping track of the project and just checked the tracker. 
This sounds like a useful idea, I'll try to implement it into the SVN with UI 
changes when I get time.
