These files will need cleaning up, including in the case where Emacs 
crashes. So it is probably easier to use a fixed port, or a fixed 
filename and only allow one instance of the server for an initial 
implementation, since I don't think there is going to be time to 
implement all of this before the release.

OTOH, perhaps it is already too late to consider this for release, and 
Windows users will have to continue to use gnuclient until Emacs 23 is 
released. In that case, you might as well deal with the tricky issues now.
