patch for system clipboard support on Android

Hello,

there is currently no way in SDL to interact with the system clipboard on Android.

I attached a patch which tries to implement the three clipboard functions for Android. It does not add the CLIPBOARDUPDATE event because this seems to require Android API 11 or polling.

I attached an updated version of the patch because some related files were changed.

Thank you for applying my patch. I did not add the SDL license comment at the top of the files (SDL_androidclipboard.c and SDL_androidclipboard.h) only to keep the patch smaller. Now this makes the files inconsistent with the remaining source.
Comment 4 Sam Lantinga 2013-02-16 13:35:38 UTC 
Fixed these as well.  Thanks!
