Hi Matt. Perhaps this was only ever an emacsW32 bug, and/or maybe it was fixed
long ago. I don't have current source here (guess I should), but basically,
emacsclientw exits with a random exit status when called from a win32 window
app (such as emacs itself).
At the time, the symptom was easy to reproduce. In a shell window inside emacs
(I use cygwin zsh, but any shell will work), run
emacsclient foo || echo BAD
then C-x # to close the server buffer, and then look back in the shell window:
% emacsclientw foo || echo BAD
Waiting for Emacs...
BAD

It would certainly be nice if Emacs came with a decent set of registry keys and
start menu shortcuts so that it (client) would _just work_ without hand-editing
registry or creating start menu shortcuts. If your code can be run after
unpacking a standard nightly build on a fresh machine and it finishes setting
up Emacs, I bet a lot of people would use it. For me at least, that
integration was the biggest draw of W32Emacs over stock.
I guess I should try again with stock emacsclient/emacsclientw and see how
things have progressed.
