I like the idea but I think it will need some enhancement to take care 
of the --no-wait flag in the case when Emacs is not running from the 
beginning.

Actually I would prefer that this code made it into emacsclient. If it 
were it would be easier to take care of the --no-wait flag.

Another thing would like is to have emacsclient optionally request that 
emacs runs `server-start´ when starting emacs. Is not that much easier 
for new emacs users? Does not that also makes it easier to take care of 
the --server-file option? (I added the feature to start emacs to 
gnuclient on w32 before and it seems like users like it.)
