Sure Steve is right!, i was not even thinking about droping current
scheme :) only about adding (even not by default) .. the thing is that
we have `xwem-launcher-function', which is set by default to
`xwem-execute-program', so we will implement
`xwem-agent-execute-program' function which will do the job.  And
customization (enabling xwem-agent launcher) will limit to:

   (setq xwem-launcher-function 'xwem-agent-execute-program)
