Re: New clipboard API for front ends, and textarea progress

Here's the current textarea progress.

Key: + done
- todo

+ Add clipboard support
+ Improve selection handling
+ Fix various editing crashes
+ Fix serious redraw problems
+ Improve caret behaviour
+ Improve word wrap
- Enable styling for HTML usage
- Padding widths
- Background/text/selected colours
- Optional borders
- Add scrollbars (multiline only)
- Scaled redraw (needed for HTML)
- Mouse input to handle scale? (or have the client pre-scale)
- Native caret? (currently requires a gui_window)

Then there are a bunch of minor things, like the textarea only
scrolling when the caret is right at the edge, rather than trying
to keep it near the center, if there is more text after the caret.

Once all that's done I can look at plugging it into the HTML content
handler's forms.
