Looks like the FSF folks haven't adopted gnuserv/gnuclient as an enhancement to emacsclient. It's only in xemacs, the elisp file even states that it won't run on FSFmacs :-( Gnuclient provides a couple of useful features over emacsclient like allowing the execution of arbitrary elisp from the commandline via the gnudoit program. > this is also an xemacs-ism.
