Yep. But we could put in emacsclient the code that at least computes
the default value of temporary-file-directory as it does in Emacs.

I think this is not an issue, since server-socket-dir is not used on
Windows at all (Windows uses the TCP way of connecting to the client).
As for the other option, the regexp doesn't just specify "/tmp", it
actually specifies a regexp for specific files in the temporary
directory. Does anyone know where do the programs which use such
temporary files put them on Windows?
