Chris Down 72e15005e9 Reduce default poll time down to 0.5 seconds
This is configurable via an environment variable rather than a command line
option, as I'm not expecting many people really need to change this thing.

I profiled the change from 1 -> 0.5 seconds on an old P4, and saw pretty much
no difference in CPU usage, whether there were new clipboard entries or not.

Closes #12.
