emacsclientw -c not working

[Uwe Siart]

Hello,

I'm on XP SP3 and I envoke emacsclientw -n -c "%1" to open files in
Emacs. However, the -c option is not working as expected. No new frame
is created. The newly visited file is always displayed in an already
existing frame.

Forgot to say that I have 24.0.91.

Looks like some snafu with switch semantics that makes sense on Posix
platforms, but not on Windows.  Juanma, could you please take a stab
at fixing this, if that's possible?

Yes. Tomorrow night, if no one beats me to it.

Thanks. That would be really great if you could get this to work.
Awaiting the next precompiled snapshot.

This is just to inform you that the problem is still there in 24.0.92.
But I suppose you simply didn't get around to fix it yet.

I "fixed" it yesterday, but there's still a small issue. I expect to
have it finished today so it can be in the next binary from trunk.

Thanks. I confirm it works in r106632 precompiled windows binaries.

A minor issue: The newly created frame does not have focus i.e. it
appears in background and needs to be searched first. If it is possible
to implement I'd like to suggest that a newly created frame appears in
foreground.
