A shim was how I ended up solving the problem last time I encountered it, for what it's worth; that way you don't have to copy every version of every client that might call the server to the server's directory (a maintenance nightmare).
In some ways, Remoting is still unfinished, as you note. That said, IME it still beats heck out of COM+. ;) Indigo (now Windows Communication Foundation, I think) in Vista should be a much-welcomed improvement over Remoting in .Net 1.x.
