Looks like you didn't attach the right patch?

Anyway, the main problem with the original patch is that it uses
Gnulib ACL module unconditionally.  Gnulib's ACL module doesn't
support MS-Windows ACLs, so Emacs has its own emulation of the
relevant routines in w32.c.  To make this emacsclient patch work on
MS-Windows one must either #ifdef away the emacsclient ACL code for
the WINDOWSNT build, or provide ACL emulation code in ntlib.c.  Both
are non-trivial jobs that I didn't yet have time to do, sorry.  I can
look into that during the following days if you show the right patch.

However, it sounds like Ulrich wasn't happy with this solution back
then, so perhaps we should first see that the problem still exists and
that everyone involved are okay with installing this, modulo minor
fixes?
