Clipboard use

[alexreg]

The utility seems to use xclip before pbcopy if both are present on the system. This is undesirable behaviour for me, on OS X. Can we configure it to use pbcopy first?

Sure, should be an easy pull request ;)

I’m afraid I don’t know any Ruby! Also, is just reversing the order fine, or do you want to add an option for it? If so then it would definitely be beyond my abilities.

I don't think an option is needed. I was imagining that they were mutually exclusive — presumable you installed xclip with quartz on a mac?

Indeed. XClip is still useful for some apps on Mac, but pbcopy/pbpaste is the one that should be used for command line utilities, really.

I don't know how to build the utility, but I've submitted a pull-request for what I think is the fix.
