emacsclient.c needs to use the exact same name without having to
read&parse your .emacs.  So yes it would be good, but no I don't think it
can be done realistically.

The reason why I wrote it this way is because I don't know better.
Hopefully file-modes returns the same kind of values on Unix and w32 so the
above code may look Unixy but will work under w32 nonetheless.
