UClip 0.2.1

enhanced OS/2 clipboard support.

UClip is designed to allow OS/2 programs to exchange unicode text using the clipboard
with other native programs or with odin-ized programs.
It is compiled using Odin source code, so it shares the same clipboard formats recognized
in win32 native programs.

This is not a library for end users, it is only for developers: it will not enable your
existing OS/2 software, it needs to be implemented by a developer.

Currently it supports text only formats, it will be enhanced to allow also other formats.

Note for developers: the dynamic library is exporting both a win32 like API and an
OS/2 like API: win32 functions have the same name of MS sdk, OS/2 functions are
prefixed with U. Be aware that exported OS/2 API is just a wrapper around the win32
API and does not map parameters.
To use the new clipboard formats, UCLIP_* macros must be used (same constants of MS/Odin
SDK); using OS/2 CF_* constants is not supported.
Support for bitmaps is enabled and tested.
Support for metafiles should work, just use UCLIP_CT_METAFILEPICT|UCLIP_CF_DSPMETAFILEPICT,
but it is not tested.
Support for palettes is enabled but not tested.
