I have installed it now. First impression below based on the 
installation and trying it a few times:

  - The installation was OK. One minor problem was that I had both 
21.4.19 and 21.4.20 installed. It hooked itself up to 21.4.19. It should 
probably go for the newest 21.4 if the user like me have many versions 
installed.

  - I haven't got 21.5 installed since I build that from source. It did 
of course not hook itself up to that. So I dropped the gnuclient 
binaries in the bin folder and fixed the shortcut in SendTo to point to 
that. That almost worked except that my gnuserv.el, 3.12, part of 21.5, 
didn't have "gnuserv-edit-files-quickly".

With this I got it up and running:

(defun gnuserv-edit-files-quickly (list)
   "For each (line-number . file) pair in LIST, edit the file at 
line-number.
   Unlike (gnuserv-edit-files), no information is saved about clients 
waiting on
   edits to this buffer."
   (gnuserv-edit-files '(mswindows nil) list 'quick))

Yours
