Thanks.  My main use is putting data onto the clipboard with slightly
specialized Windows types.

Attached below is a principal example: the pyqt3 code we are using to
send data to Microsoft Office in CSV format.  

Worth highlighting that Qt3 didn't provide quite enough to get the job
done either, we additionally needed to hook up to the win32 API
RegisterClipboardFormat function, as you see below.  So it's not great
problem for us if we have to code it all up in C instead, but hopefully
this provides one example of "useful"...
