[vox-tech] named X highlight buffer

[vox-tech@lists.lugod.org]

apt-cache show xcd
Description: Pigeon holes for your cut and paste selections
 xcb provides easy access to the cut buffers built into every X server.
 It allows the buffers to be manipulated either via the command line,
 or with the mouse in a point and click manner. This version is also
 utf-8 capable.
