Specifying Scheme program arguments doesn't work reasonably in cmuscheme

Greetings,

cmuscheme in Emacs 20.7 takes arguments to the Scheme program from
the variable scheme-program-name used to specify the Scheme program
name by assuming that they are separated with space or tab (see
run-scheme and scheme-args-to-list functions).  This makes it
impossible to specify arguments that contain space, which is a very
bad thing.

I suggest that an another variable, say, scheme-program-args (which
would be a list of string arguments), is introduced for specifying
arguments to the Scheme program.

[XEmacs' cmuscheme seems to have the same problem so a copy of this
article is posted to comp.emacs.xemacs in addition to
gnu.emacs.bug.  For some reason crossposting to gnu.emacs.bug and
comp.emacs.xemacs failed last time I tried it; my article didn't
appear to comp.emacs.xemacs at all :(]
