Yes. The security feature of emacsclient should probably be abstracted 
so that appropriate methods for the platform can be used.  Then on 
Windows (NT) we could use Security Descriptors directly without relying 
on the filesystem to be secure. Windows 95/98/ME would require a 
different solution, but I don't think it is worth expending any more 
effort than the Yes/No dialog that Eli suggests.
