Summary: Copy/Paste from Mac/Win ChemDraw, etc.

Initial Comment:
Ideally, users could be able to copy/paste from ChemDraw or Isis Draw (or other) 2D drawing program on Mac, Linux, Windows, etc.

For Mac and Windows, we will probably need:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qmacpasteboardmime.html
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qwindowsmime.html

These let us translate from native Windows or Mac clipboard types to Qt.

At the very least, ChemDraw documents their clipboard data:
