Since the clipboard patch requires a 3rd party library, it may be worthwhile to detect that library by the method in a previous post in this thread (edit to the configure.ac file). However, I didn't test it outside mingw. Also, before running configure it would be necessary to run "autogen.sh" (or the analog in VS).
In addition, the above could be accompanied by preprocessor directives so that the patch code is only compiled when the proper library is present:
#if C_CLIPBOARD
// Clipboard code
#endif
