Maybe something like

(defcustom browse-web-function 'eww
  "Function to start WWW browsing."
  :type '(choice
	  (function-item :tag "eww" :value eww)
          ...))

(defun browse-web (url)
  (interactive "sEnter URL or keywords: ")
  (funcall browse-web-function url))

Then external packages could register themselves by adding more alternatives
to this user option by calling at the end of e.g. the w3m package:

  (custom-add-option 'browse-web-function '(function-item :tag "w3m" :value w3m))
