Emacs has been running on Windows for years without emacsclient, and people make do with gnuserv/gnuclient. Of course I think it'd be very nice to have it working (else I wouldn't be hacking emacsclient right now), but I hardly would consider it "a major problem". > I would also suggest handling minor platform specific problems with > platform specific "subreleases".
