alert function might be implemented as a closure, which will be passed to
swank startup function, like

(load "slimpl-swank-alerter.lisp")
(load "swank-loader.lisp")
(swank:create-server :dont-close t :encode-message-callback
slimp-swank-alerter:alert-callback)

in create-server,
(setf *encode-message-callback* encode-message-callback)
and in encode-message,
(funcall *encode-message-callback*)

this is very little code to add to swank, and maybe we even can talk slime
developers into adding this code to swank permanently :)
