The problem is that the location needs to be agreed upon between server.el
and emacsclient. Since emacsclient does not have access to Elisp in general
and temporary-file-directory in particular, this is not an option.
I guess server-socket-dir could/should use something else than /tmp under
w32, tho I have no idea what value would make sense. Also maybe this could
obey $TEMP and/or $TMPDIR, assuming the same value is used for both the
`emacs' and the `emacsclient' processes (which is not a necessarily correct
assumption, sadly).
