It isn't worth *if* capture is invoked from emacs. If capture is invoked
from org-protocol in firefox, then there might not even be a emacs frame
visible.

1) If I don't pass -c to emacsclient, then I need to search all my
   workspaces to find where emacs decided to put the capture frame
2) If I pass do pass -c to emacsclient, then I need to close the frame
   afterwards. And more significantly, I need to close the empty frame
   when I use store-link instead. (I could work around this by using
   seperate protocols for for each)
