Command line utility to put stdin into the X 'current selection' clipboard

[Crispin Wellington <crispin@aeonline.net>]

Is there a shell utility that can take stdin and put it into an X
clipboard. The 'current selection' clipboard would be ideal, but any of
the X Clipboard's would suffice. For example

ls | someutility

and then middle mouse click (or ctrl-v) somewhere else to paste the
text?

Thanks
