   PetscEmacsClientErrorHandler - Error handler that uses the emacsclient program to

   Input Parameters:

.  line - the line number of the error (indicated by __LINE__)
.  func - the function where error is detected (indicated by __FUNCT__)
.  file - the file in which the error was detected (indicated by __FILE__)

   Notes:
