    Its actually implemented in SciTE rather than Scintilla by the ugly 
technique of writing out an RTF file and then copying that to the 
clipboard. It only works on Windows due to the simpler clipboard API 
compared to X and since RTF is a common format on Windows. Other 
projects sometimes include code from SciTE even though the code isn't 
really written for reuse.
