Unix Select-Paste in Arduino Editor

The Arduino IDE editor's lack of support for X11's select-paste mechanism has always annoyed me.  Well, I finally got around to adding it.  Especially for helping people with their Arduino troubles (which I do every day), it's so very nice to finally be able to quickly select-paste between Arduino and forum messages, email, terminal windows, etc.

This is a Unix/X11 feature.  Mac & Windows do not have anything similar.  But on Linux it's so very fast and convenient.  This tiny little feature really makes me happy.  :-)

Update: it's been accepted and will become part of Arduino 1.0.5.  Anyone using 1.0.4 who wants this feature now can install Teensyduino 1.0.4 release candidate #1 to get this feature without having to recompile the entire Arduino IDE.
