There's no documentation about needing to have xclip installed for :SyncopateExportToClipboard to work, and if you try it without xclip installed, it just silently fails to modify the clipboard without showing any error from vim (since it's run with :silent %!xclip). In fact, it falsely reports "Syncopate exported blah blah".
We should document the xclip requirement in the help and also give a reasonable error message if it's missing or fails.
