[pass] [PATCH] Notify when password goes in/out of clipboard

[Emil Lundberg]

I can't look at your patch right now, but judging by the description I've
made a series of similar patches myself [1]. My solution adds a callback
hook to pass itself, which can then be used by passmenu to display a
notification when the password is copied to the clipboard. It doesn't
notify when the clipboard is reset, though, but the same approach could be
used there.

Is anyone else interested in this feature?
