This gem requires ffi to run, and if you don't have it using require 'clipboard' gives you an error and tells you to run gem install ffi.

Hi Michagogo,

thank you for you interest in making the clipboard gem better. However, ffi will not become a dependency for now and I've edited the README to add an explanation why:

This gem depends on the ffi gem to support the Windows clipboard. However, since ffi is not plain Ruby, it cannot be installed in every Ruby environment and therefore, ffi is not a hard dependency of this gem. To ensure Windows compatibility, you can put the ffi gem in your Gemfile.

Gemfile? Remind me what that is again? (And, for that matter, what's ffi?)

Oh, and by the way -- your blip gem seems to have a bug. It works when something's piped in, but not when given an argument on the command line: https://gist.github.com/247dc952ca4167cd4d41
