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

[Kenny Evitt]

I didn't submit a patch because I don't expect it be to merged upstream
anytime soon. The 'soft fork' is just a convenient place for me to keep the
changes where I, and anyone else, can access them.

Here's the patch for the changes (excluding my "soft fork" README changes):
