Since I needed a debug version, I had to install from source anyway.
Unfortunately in the source version I have (which I think corresponds
to build 127, I'm not sure because winCVS and I don't get along so
well) win32clipboard doesn't actually work: importing it leads
to an immediate seg fault under NT.

The problem is that initwin32clipboard() in win32clipboardmodule.cpp
is missing a call to PyWinGlobals_Ensure().  Once I copied some
initialization in from another module to give:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void
initwin32clipboard(void)
{
  PyObject *dict, *module;
  PyWinGlobals_Ensure();
  module = Py_InitModule("win32clipboard", clipboard_functions);
  dict = PyModule_GetDict(module);
  Py_INCREF(PyWinExc_ApiError);
  PyDict_SetItemString(dict, "error", PyWinExc_ApiError);
}

everything worked fine.
(well, I haven't tested it yet, but I can at least import...
which is a step in the right direction)  :-)
