Add support for *clip.exe* for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

[Lars Flitter]

Hi,

how about an environment variable where a "platform" file can be 
specified? It would not work out of the box as it needs configuration, 
but this way we can avoid hacks for windows and also allow users to make 
some customizations like using different clip tools.

Regards,
Lars
