Sorry, I do not know network programming enough. Someone who could 
implement this must know this on both the unix style and winsock.

I just looked again at all the files in CVS to see where 
gnuclient/server is mentioned. As far as I can see it is not mentioned 
anywhere that you should use gnuclient/server on w32. Beside this there 
is no pointer at all to the w32 version of gnuclient/server.

Maybe all we can do at this stage is mention in Info how to get around 
the missing emacsclient/server on w32 and where to find gnuclient/server 
for w32? I think this is a minimum and I also think that this really 
should help new users on w32.

Could this suggestion be accepted? I can of try writing this info.
