I think it's pretty obvious: the need to autodetect the libraries in the configure script, the need for C code to interface with the libraries, the need to require the libraries for emacsclient functionality, etc. > 2) Please consider the gains from a SSH approach: no special > emacsclient, secure authenticated connections, etc. as I listed > already. I don't see any need for authentication and secure connections as long as the connection is on the same machine.
