My approach has been to pull the latest gnuclient/gnuserv out of the
current XEmacs (possibly CVS?), since this will be the most
up-to-date, combine it with some autoconf stuff and distribute it via:
http://meltin.net/hacks/emacs/
The latest version is:
http://meltin.net/hacks/emacs/src/gnuserv-3.12.7.tar.gz
Various GNU/Linux distributions and, by the look of it, Mac OS/X have
picked up this version and distribute it.
I recently noticed a security vulnerability being fixed in gnuserv so
I'm planning to see if I can pick up the most recent version and
release a new package as soon as possible. Hopefully not too much has
changed...
While there have been some improvements to emacsclient/server a quick
look at the Emacs 22 prerelease suggests that it still doesn't have
all of the features of gnuclient/gnuserv. It doesn't seem likely that
gnuserv will ever be included in GNU Emacs - I was last involved in a
discussion on this topic about 4 years ago and the suggestion was to
reimplement the missing features in emacsclient/server.
peace & happiness,
