We have discussed this before on the Emacs Devel list. My conclusion
was that the windows version (i.e. emacsclientw.exe) should not wait -
because if it does that gives problems for some programs starting it
since you can not give the switch --no-wait in all such cases. (Not
for cmd.exe though.)
I think I therefore had a patch for this before in my Emacs+EmacsW32
distro, but it seems to have been lost in some merging. (Or I might
have made a mistake myself and thought that this patch was not needed
any more, I am not sure.)
Unfortunately I have not time to check such things over and over again
and fix them so I would be glad if this was changed in Emacs sources
instead of my Emacs+EmacsW32 distribution. The patch is needed, at
least in some cases.
