Clipboard from Cygwin?

Dear Cygwin list,
A while back Oliver Nittka sent me the C sourcecode of a Cygwin unix
command to grab the Windows clipboard. He suggested I compile it and
try it out. I would very much prefer not get involved in the headaches
of setting up the ability to actually _compile_ stuff under Cygwin (I
just want the power of the Unix tools on Windows, as a command line
user). I have not been able to get a reply from Nittka recently, he may
be on holiday.
Could someone instead suggest where I can download this (or a
similar) command, pre-compiled? Also, how does one use Nittka's
'probe'? Would it be for example,
$ probe > clipboard.txt ?
With kind regards,
Sandy
P.S. The source he originally sent:
------------------------------------------------------------- probe.c --
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main() {
HGLOBAL hglb;
LPSTR lpstr;
OpenClipboard(0);
hglb = GetClipboardData(CF_TEXT);
lpstr = GlobalLock(hglb);
printf("%s",lpstr);
GlobalUnlock(hglb);
CloseClipboard();
return(0);
}
-- eof ------------------------------------------------------ probe.c --
