Also IIRC my version of gnuclient uses these variables to locate emacs 
so that it can run it for the first time if it's not already running.  
Since I think that gnuclient does stuff that emacsclient doesn't (such 
as remote communication with emacs), I'd be a bit reluctant to break 
stuff that gnuclient uses.
