Well, there sort of is, here is what that To-Do List item discusses:
Embed the xwinclip functionality within XWin.exe. [This] task may be rather
difficult, as there are numerous collisions between the X client headers and
the X Server headers that must be prevented. One method of preventing
collisions may be to break the win.h header into multiple files, and to add
a list of only the necessary includes to the top each .c file.
Now, I've said before that I'm not so sure that it is a great idea to
integrate xwinclip into XWin.exe, both because of the header file collisions
and because I think it would unduly complicate the message loops. However,
I'd like to see what an integrated xwinclip looks like in source before I
shoot the idea down for good.
So, you could start by trying to integrate xwinclip into XWin.
