 DESCRIPTION
   Upload data and fetch URL from the pastebin http://sprunge.us
 
+  In addition to printing the returned URL, if the xset or xsel
+  programs are available (on $PATH), the URL will also be copied to the 
+  PRIMARY selection and the CLIPBOARD selection (allowing to quickly
+  paste the url into IRC client for example).
