emacsclient 22 and 23 incompatibility

[David Reitter]

Is there a way to make Emacs 23 compatible with the 22-series  
emacsclient?

It's a pity that this doesn't work out-of-the-box, given that not all  
platforms use an install procedure that will update a centrally  
installed emacsclient program along with the new Emacs main  
application.
