Vim clipboard copy paste workaround

I love Vim. But the somewhat difficult to handle system clipboard integration just doesn't seem to fit in with me. I made a recompile to get +xterm-clipbard option, but the whole Ctrl-C Ctrl-V thing was missig. And I didn't want to recompile everytime. Got a nice workaround using xclip :) here [ http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/In_line_copy_and_paste_to_system_clipboard ]
Just to make a note / backup, here's what you have to do. Just put that into your .vimrc

" Copy paste from clipboard
vmap  y: call system("xclip -i -selection clipboard", getreg("\""))
nmap  :call setreg("\"",system("xclip -o -selection clipboard"))p

You're good to go.
