I looked at this and I like the direction it's going.  It's pretty
simple and straightforward, which I also like.

What I'd recommend is that instead of making lazyObject a string, we
make it an integer representing a protocol version.  We then add a
different config setting that is the actual program to invoke, using the
given protocol version.  This lets us change the way we speak to the
tool without breaking backwards compatibility, and it also allows us to
simply check the lazyObject script for supported protocols up front.
