This would be a nice addition indeed. However having a quick look at  
SDL_scrap, I would suggest to use something more flexible than an  
integer for pasteboard content types, I think MIME content types [1]  
would be more usefull to describe data.

Also if this :

>    get_scrap(T('T','E','X','T'), &scraplen, &scrap);

is supposed to be only ASCII-encoded text, then the whole thing is  
unusefull (yes there is an umlaut in my name).

Content negotiation (the client can get/provide the same data under  
different formats) would also be nice but I wonder if all platform  
specific api support it (osx does).

Best,

Daniel
