Are you aware that CVS Emacs has support for Unix sockets?  It does
server socket too.  

I don't know why people are so keen to use a setup where the Lisp and
Emacs are on different machines, but whenever I tried to do something
like that (e.g, with remote-compile) it didn't work very well and I
always run Emacs on the same machine.  Is this a feature we want to
support or is this a would-be-nice-in-an-ideal-world thing?

Helmut.
