If no emacs instance is running, it starts emacs, waits for it to
answer, and then connects with it as if the emacsclient had been
successful in the first place. This is better in some cases that
simply running emacs through -a, mostly when emacsclient is used to
launch Emacs as editor for some app.

But Lennart has not updated his emacsclient from the trunk in years,
and it is different enough that integration of his changes is not
trivial (not impossible, of course, just a non-negligible amount of
work).
