But how did the emacs 22 client get into PATH?

Obviously, if one is mixing distributions such as fink or macports with
a new emacs 23 app, trouble could be expected.

For instance CarbonEmacs.app has its emacsclient in 

    /Applications/CarbonEmacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/

which isn't automatically copied to typical PATH places. I could then be
lucky to have installed something which did put a compatible emacsclient
into my PATH, but I would consider that more as an accident than a
conscious action of some .app.
