Works like a charm.

Unfortunately the "+clipboard" for Cygwin uses the X-Windows
clipboard, not the native Windows clipboard. In this case
/dev/clipboard is a way to access the native Windows clipboard within
Cygwin. It has the benefit of understanding utf-8 which
putclip/getclip currently do not.

Thank you for the tip!
