A feature discovered very late (I'm running XP Home with a very old
version of Cygwin), /dev/clipboard

On computer 1
[first mouse copy something, e.g. a url]
cp /dev/clipboard /tmp/temp # writes it to a file C:/cygwin/tmp/temp

On computer 2
cp //firstcomputer/tmp/temp /dev/clipboard # copies the file to the mouse
on the second computer

whence you can mouse paste it into a browser.

//firstcomputer is the Cygwin header meaning look in the machine named
firstcomputer for the file, only needs that /tmp is shared there.
