Oh, this nuisance again. Sync'ing the doc-strings won't help with the
argument names. At least it is better than 23.4, where eg

 x-own-selection-internal is a built-in function in `C source code'.
 [Missing arglist.  Please make a bug report.]

Deleting the doc-strings altogether from the duplicate definitions in
pc-win.el would make this problem go away.
